You have good suggestions about best practices. But with all best practices in play, it still won't run as quick as a novel is read.
I'm talking about Real Time not In-World time. ND&D would be a ruleset that:
1) Runs exactly as quickly as the D&D Fiction stories. So the entire Dragonlance Chronicles in 17 table hours!
2) More fully supports the colorful descriptions (for both DM and player) of D&D action which are seen in D&D Fiction.
If I remember right, a popular opinion on the forums here is that combats typically last 3-4 rounds. Since each round is ~6 seconds, that's 18-24 in-game seconds. Pretty quick to me.
