GraphViz Dot very long duration of generation

I have a tree structure I want to be generated by Dot. Each node has 4 edges to another 4 nodes. In sum there are about 1,000 nodes. If I try to generate it with Dot it takes a very long time (once I let it work like for a hour - CPU usage was 100% all the time but it didn't finish). Is there a way to accelerate this? Maybe by setting down the quality? Or using another (faster?) vizualization software? I've attached my Dot file for you to test it on your own machine.

Thank you. Dot File: http://lh.rs/3fmsfjmbvRw2
