OK, this is where I'm coming from:
I've played D&D, AD&D AD&D2, and DD4 (plus a handfull of RPG in the '80-'90).
The main issue I had with DD4, was the amount of time an encouter would take. We ended up running 2 encouters per evening, and the game wasn't progressing unless we played all evening for months. (ok, a bit exagerated, but still…)
My main question is for those who played the Beginner's box OR the Beta:
How long does an average encouter takes to run through? Is it something like 30 minutes, or closer to 2 hours?
