Recently, I was thinking about how long the solutions to some rooms are and I decided to try to build a room which is insanely long. My efforts yielded a room which requires just over 7,950,000,000 moves (almost entirely 'wait') to solve. If your keyboard had a repeat rate of 100/sec, then it would take just over 2.5 years to solve. Enjoy!

You might be interested in this thread. I seem to remember there is a room that is longer by several orders of magnitude.

Yep. There's a room in that thread that takes "324,518,553,658,426,726,783,156,020,576,265. Due to the long corridor at the bottom, the number of moves is more than 40 times as many. That gives the solution a length of nearly 13 decillion." It's on the last page.
