[Mne_analysis] setup_forward_model duration

[Matti Hamalainen]

Do you really have an option specified as -ico 4, with one dash. Two dashes are needed. Otherwise the BEM surfaces are not decimated and it takes ages to run the three-compartment model, which you do not need unless you are analyzing EEG alone or EEG + MEG
