I recommend using the Game Tools for random map generation, that way if you get a map you don't like, you don't have to reselect your nation, opponents, pretender stats, etc.

One of the reasons I wrote the script was to generate several maps in advance so I could quickly look at them and decide which I liked best to play on.

Also, time to produce map is heavily dependent on map graphic size. If you cut the graphic down from the default 1600x1200 to 800x600, map generation goes *much* faster. About 30 seconds on my Athlon 2GHz as opposed to the usual 5 min or so.
Note this has absolutely zero game effect. The only UI effect it has is that when you zoom in to see tiny provinces, the landscape looks blurry.

True: However, I don't like my map getting blurry when I zoom in. (I usually generate maps at 4000x2000 just to prevent loss of resolution when zooming in ... it's just an aesthetics thing.)
