Try doing your Domain turns between game sessions.If that isn´t possible
try at least knowing in advance what actions your players are going to
atempt so that in your session you just have to roll the dice and don´t
lose much time (non-regents will apreciate this...).
The best solution, I think, is to involve EVERYONE in the domain turn. Most
players are non-regents but they can be ministers or advisers giving their
opinions (after all if the realm goes down, they go down with it, so it
pays off to give their opinion).

Just my thoughts.
