Actually, PC users can just go in the console and type "set timescale to (whatever multiple of real-time you want, 16 is the default, and 1 is real time, so Skyrim by default goes 16x faster than real time. Sometimes I think it's compensating for Skyrim's comparitively small size  (16 square miles in real-life is nothing.  You want it to feel massive without actually being very massive, so why not make up the illusion that it literally took you "days" to traverse the map?)
