Dear Moritz,

well, 3 days are still not an unsustainable running time...

Nevertheless, you can try to assign increasing region importances to the deeper
layers through the card BIASING applied to your low energy neutrons. I do not
know your geometry, but in case the concrete layers correspond to concentric
spheres, I'd profit from the full isotropy of the problem to bias only a
fraction of the whole solid angle and get there a better convergence.

Good luck

Francesco
