On modern systems using -m will slow it down a lot for minor memory savings. Don't use it. I wouldn't bother with -4 either. > r.terraflow note as far as output basins go this calculates something different- sink-watersheds not catchment watersheds. see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/21564/focus=21579 But r.terraflow should run in minutes. > If anyone has used r.watershed on a comparably sized DEM, I would be > interested to hear how long it took to run.

I usually set it up to run on a friday afternoon and it's done by the time I get back on monday. Setting the process priority low (ie high renice value) helps if you leave it running during the week.
