I forgot to add that this image took about a week to render. I just
turned on interior media and radiosity and it is rendering at 13ppm (and
will probably drop lower at certain spots). So I estimate it will take
between 1 and 2 months nonstop to fully render.

You might want to examine whether you're doing something wrong.
While high quality settings are an obvious factor in long renders,
another infamous but often underestimated performance hog is complex
non-union CSG.

I added a lot of bounded_by statements to the city objects previously.
If you want to take a look for yourself, you can download the scene here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ccp3kv21k3oldvl/GH_LoadingScreen_src_v2_6_0.zip
The file to render is called "gh_scene_spinner_cutaway_e.pov".

The render speed has actually improved to 75ppm. I am 17 hours into the
render and am at 8% completion of the 1280x720px image! Yay!

Same problem here. Just to render a part of the central hull of my
starship, it takes several days. I think, the problem is too many
individual shapes (like boxes and such).
I heard about a plugin for SketchUp, that can export to our POV-Ray
scene description language. As mesh.I am considering to design a number
of elements of my ship in Sketchup as meshes, and then add those meshes
to my POV-Ray scenes. I believe, I will gain render speed by replacing
hundreds of box with one single mesh shape. Could I be right with my
assumption?

And I am happily rendering my spaceship at 17PPM. If I would render the
entire spaceship, I would expect to watch the finished render image in
somewhere in the 6th millennium AD...

I have not used SketchUp for some time and was going to say that most of
the models looked very blocky and not very well textured. Then I
rememberd that in the early days of TC-RTC a member used SketchUp with
VRay. The models don't need to be blocky.
Have a look at:
http://www.tc-rtc.co.uk/image/upload//chandan/pw-1250429739-final3.jpg
and his other one
http://www.tc-rtc.co.uk/image/upload//chandan/pw-1245100893-Evidence_2.jpg
But if you are going to learn a new modeller why not give Blender a try?
I know it has a steep learning curve but it is not as bad as it was.
In both PovRay plugins* you can use PovCode for texturing.
* There is an official PovRay exporter and LanuHum's unofficial one.

I even have Blender installed. But I don't get the beginning
understanding. I find it in general too difficult, to learn to use
WYSIWYG editors. I code all my scenes by hand, and out of my head. Much
easier. SketchUp is kinda more like drawing and then making it 3D. But I
will try again with Blender.

Not for me it's not. :(

Don't do it just because I suggest it. I'm concerned that unless you
become more than competent in UV mapping. Texturing a ginormous mesh
will be very hard.
Do you know about inkscape? Blender can take a 2D drawing done in
inkscape and extend it in the third dimension. I mean that it can take a
plan drawing and grow it upwards.
