Hi HC,
Assuming that I have made no mistake in copying your function, although
it does not take forever to integrate it, Mathematica consumes a good
deal of CPU time before displaying the result:
In[1]:=
Timing[Integrate[
0.5*(1 + 10^7*((1 - x - y)/1.5 + x/8)^10) +
0.004*(x/((1 - x - y)/1.5 + x/8)^10),
{x, 0.0425, 0.1999}, {y, 0.8425 - x, 0.8}]]
Out[1]=
{379.906*Second, 1.91538522742034*^8}
(Tested on a Pentium IV 2.6GHz 512Mo Physical Ram, Windows XP SP2,
Mathematica 5.1.)
Best regards,

P.S. You should use the _InputForm_ when copying an expression from a
Mathematica notebook to an email client: select the cell(s) you want to
include in your email, then within the *Cell* menu select either
*Convert To* or *Display As* and choose *InputForm*. Finally, copy and
paste as usual.
