Using that united_kingdom2pts.txt is bound to be very slow because it 
cuts out the UK along the coastline which is much more complex than it 
needs to be; a polygon with 10 nodes is perfectly suitable, you don't 
need one with 10s of 1000s! Use something like this for your polygon:

britain

    -6.450000E+00   4.980000E+01
    -2.000000E+00   4.890000E+01
    -1.850000E+00   4.925000E+01
    -2.080000E+00   4.973000E+01
    1.350000E+00   5.090000E+01
    2.250000E+00   5.258000E+01
    -5.000000E-01   6.130000E+01
    -8.920000E+00   5.785000E+01
    -6.876876E+00   5.561885E+01
    -5.412946E+00   5.507351E+01
    -5.035438E+00   5.283576E+01
    -6.450000E+00   4.980000E+01
END

Your planet file is broken. Get the latest one (090428) and it will work.
