Don probably had his tongue in cheek when he typed that, but according to 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kisei , games in the Kisei Tournament in Japan are 
played over two days, with each player given eight hours of clock time. Title matches 
in the Mejiin also use 8 hours clock time.

No doubt, when games are adjourned for the day, both players ( and perhaps their 
assistants ) spend a considerable amount of time thinking off the clock.
