I don't want to enter edition-war territory, but 3e combat is a lot slower, particular at the higher levels. More precisely 4e combat _feels_ faster because finishing a single round of combat is faster. In 3e we've had combats where resolving a single round took more than an hour!Quite recently, for the first time ever, I've handwaved a 3e combat after a couple of rounds (i.e. a couple of hours) because the conclusion was obvious (it was a fight against four avatars of elemental evil).I guess high-level combat in 4e will also take a while but at least it takes a lot more rounds which means the players get to act more often, i.e. individual turns are faster, so they don't have to wait endlesslessly until it's their turn again.</blockquote>
