There does seem to be a lot of variation because of party composition, PC builds and PC teamwork. But overall the combat in 4E does seem take alot more rounds. And some fights are short some long. If all your fights are long, you should be asking why every fight is taking so much time. Looking at some of the threads about playing KotS , the combats are lasting under 10 rounds.If every combat is taking too much time , then perhaps some house rules are necessary. Increasing damage, decreasing hp, decreasing defences or use more action points(using an extra action to save time, may seem a dubious   idea, but you may find using an extra action ends a fight sooner, and saves an extra round or two)</blockquote>
