It's not THAT bad :)   I've simmed a few seconds in reasonable timeframes.
I suspect there's some simple basic problem here.
I would urge the OP to take this as fact:  The sim works, and the chip
works.

Try not to develop too much at one time without testing.

She got a new job recently, probably shoveling pretty hard.
