Data Recovery/Bad MFT taking forever

So I had a drive just up and die on me..well at least giving me a bad MFT that can't be recovered. So I can Power Data Recovery and it took about 2 hours and showed all my files. However, didn't have time to save them all so got a few and closed (program says it saves scans automatically). Well..it didn't save. Now when I go back to do the same thing..it is randomly taking between 200-1000 hours to complete.

Why did this just change all of a sudden. How can I get back to the 2 hour time it took before. Really..1000 hours to recover 200GB worth of data..

Anything else I can try to do?

You might try testdisk and see if it can recover the partition.
