I agree, Taxman is very fast and dirty - its more for the two-hour instore
demos that plague the working Man in Black.
You could always run "Chasing Kites" The artwork from the French
translation is on the Issaries website and is quite stunning. "High
Pressure Front" works well too - its got a bit more character
interaction than Taxman does. Personally, I tend to run Fish Rain if
I have 3-4 hours because its just plain *fun*.
Hope this helps!
