World gen is appallingly slow and hangs on a new high spec machine (i7) without even maxing a single core, and using only 850mb RAM. By c.240, it's nigh impossible to hit enter/esc to pause, although it will keep grinding through world gen whenever the app starts responding again. Simply pick Large Region and start generating to reproduce. Needs to at least be responsive enough to halt worldgen!
