I'm afraid that is a typical GM problem that can only be solved with a little patience.

Yes Marc that's true. The 4e book talks about 'dropping in and out of combat time' but its up to the GM to smoothly implement this. I guess it really takes some getting used to on the part of both players and the GM. I could be wrong here but gurps seems to be the odd man out in terms of time frame allotment in combat insofar as rpgs are concerned. many i have seen seem to use 6 second or 10 second combat rounds.
a friend once played phoenix command sometime in the 90s and he said it also used something like the gurps 1 second turns (I could again be wrong here, its been sometime since that chat).
