Hi,
Is there any way to interrupt the DRC Density Check operation? It seems to have run for several hours at this point. Is this to be expected for a pattern with a filesize of around 15 KB using the default Density check settings?

I am sorry, currently it is not possibility to stop a single DRC operation. If you had created a DRC macro you can abort between two checks, but not within a single check.
The required calculation time strongly depends on its settings and the design. A tiny box size can cause long operation times as well as using huge cell arrays in the design. But if this is not the case a check for a 15kb design should complete within few seconds.

It eventually finished after 316 minutes abd I am able to save my work (phew). Maybe a warning or some way to interrupt this kind of processing could be useful for future versions! :)
