I'm with Indy.	***THUD***  :-)

A large battle with 2000 points per side can take two hours to process a
turn.
That's for a limited intelligence game with sensors and scanning.

Two players with two or three cruisers on a side with full intelligence
can be processed fairly quickly, but you won't be able to complete a
game in a day.	It could be done in a week....	at great expenditure of
spouse and family points.

It's doable, but it would be even slower than a FT game because of the
phased nature of the rules.  You could make orders contingent on the
enemy's actions, but it could bog down.  It would have to be a small
game
of either rules set.
