Allegheny County is non-Euclidean space, sorry, can't help you. Maybe it 
was a poor choice but for obvious reasons I used something close to me to 
test (I don't live in Allegheny County, but I work in it, and I can see it 
from my house)

Anyway, running the whole country takes 10 hours and 3 minutes on a 3.2ghz 
Pentium 4, now that I have a script which works usefully (in csh of all 
things) so if there is a need to rerun it, I can just run the commands, 
come back in to hours, and have fresh output.
