Hi Guilherme,
I do not see anything wrong with your script, other than this line not 
being necessary:
plot(k-1) = plot(k-1)
Significance contours can get rather dense and convoluted especially for 
high resolution grids, but the plotting should not take anywhere close 
to 4 hours.
I would suggest trying the following:
Change this:
res2@cnLevelSelectionMode  = "ManualLevels"
res2@cnMinLevelValF        = 0.00
res2@cnMaxLevelValF        = 1.05
res2@cnLevelSpacingF       = 0.01
to this:
res2@cnLevelSelectionMode  = "ExplicitLevels"
res2@cnLevels        = niv_sig
As you're only interested in shading all areas less than niv_sig there's 
no reason to specify 106 contour levels. I am wondering if NCL still 
calculates their placement even though you're not drawing them. If the 
above changes do not speed things up, please respond to NCL-talk and let 
everyone know..
