your map isnt optimized.
you have to use func_details.
i suggest you read a few pages of this thread:

the main reason for the long compiling time is that you didnt use any func_details.
as i said read a few pages of the thread and than you should know how to use func_details.
the first thing you could do is to make your staircase to a func_detail.
using nodraw will just improve your ingame performence a bit.
but that is another story.
