Hell, our latest Level 21 game, we had a major fight that was over in about 1 hour, maybe 20 minutes over tops.
We never got to epic - those fights would probably span multiple gaming sessions.

Sometimes that story is short and sometimes it is long. They can be tragic, comic or absurd. Some teach. Some are just to fill the empty spaces in our lives.

Like I said, I've never had any fight, regardless of level, take much longer than an hour. We even had a level 30 fight that only took about an hour, despite 2 of the players never having played a character above low-paragon before(we shot up from level 10 to 30 due to plot devices).

Shrug to me its a damn cool hour of interesting choices and interactions... Love tactical combat.
I prefer my turns to come up more often then every 15 minutes
You will be waiting half an hour at level 10 I have no doubt just for the Wizard to decide how to use his over powered over sized repertoire of spells that the DM will have to analyze every time because the spells will be all so vague every body tak a nap the DM has to figure out how the charm spell works.

I dont see how either of those options would be any good for having frequent turns.
