What settings are you playing on? A game of 4 on normal speed usually takes me 3 or 4 hours, and that's usually for space race, domination wins would be quicker. I don't micromanage everything unless I'm trying to hit a record early date, usually I'm paying to attention to one aspect of the game at a time, trying out different strategies. And you can always just play the openings, usually everything is pretty much decided in the first 50 turns and after that it is just a matter of how much sleep you want to lose playing out the inevitable.
