I got a chance to run the test file you had sent me (using the  
CDKDescUI program) and the Path and Path-Cluster descriptors do  
appear a little slow - on my machine (OS X 10.4.1, JDK 1.5, 2.16GHz  
dual core, 1GB RAM) the Path descriptors complete in about 15 to 20 sec.

Of course this is still too slow. Now, for the Path descriptor which  
just looks for contiguous chains of N atoms (such as CCC or CCCC) we  
can replace the graph isomorphism approach with a simple BFS  
approach. This will be faster and in addition one could just do a  
search for upto N atom paths which would imply paths of 2, 3, ... N-1.

On the other hand, the Path-Cluster descriptors involve looking for  
branched fragments - and I can't see how one could identify such  
fragments via a BFS approach (at least in a relatively simple  
manner). So I think Path-Cluster descriptors are going to stay slow.  
But I'm open to ideas
