How long can one expect a viewshed analysis to run in ArcGIS with the following parameters:
Analysis at each of 3,800 points with results added to produce a single surface result. Set up with "viewshed" tool.
Points are arrayed along a linear feature (a hiking trail) totaling approxmately 610 km (381 miles). Trail loops to form a rough oval shape.
Points spaced approximately 160 m (0.1 mile) apart.
An 8 km (5 mile) analysis extent is used for each point.
10m DEM in mountainous setting.
The analysis is running on a server (32gb RAM, 64 bit, Arc v10.1, plenty of drive space). It has been running for nearly 120 hours already.
