I'm trying to get my 11.11.11 toon to play well again, so I went inside the Left Handed Miner's Barracks and waited 30 days (in game).

That is painful. I think between the missed 'x' buttons (I usually have to press it about 5-10 times to get the waiting to start) and actual wait time I wasted about 20 minutes doing this trick. I could see my HD also flipping about and I was wondering if there are a lot of scripts triggered each time we wait.

Could we possibly upgrade the wait function to include a 'day' granularity? I would see it working like 'press triangle' to toggle units (hours, days).

Seems like it would be easier as whatever cleanup callbacks are getting used could be called only once for the entire period.

Alternatively, could we just get a function that does the effect of the 30 day wait? Just globally clean up and respawn the world?

I couldn't agree more. I've been sorely needing a function of this sort, and I'm sure we're far from the only two. Waiting for any span of time over a week is like pulling teeth. Facing the prospect of waiting a month leaves you feeling like you'd rather just power down your system and go do something else instead of sit through it.

There is a small trick that can be done on PS3 that speeds up the waiting ticker significantly, but having to sit through it fifteen or thirty or more times is still a pretty big PITA.

[NOTE: For anyone unaware of the waiting time 'trick', you can find it on Google, but I'll go ahead and detail it here for you. After bringing up the wait menu, set the timer to wherever you choose and hit X like you normally would, only keep holding X and push the PS button to bring up the XMB and then again to exit the XMB. Keep the X button held the entire time and your ticker should go much faster, unless you let go of X.

Also interesting to note, you can do this while running to send your character into warp speed. Just start running in any direction and hold X, press PS, exit XMB with PS and keep holding X. Your character and the world around you will move at a pretty crazy pace until you let go of X.]
