I have a Q9300 running at 3.0ghz, 4GB DDR3 ram and a Radeon 4870.

Turns take roughly 30 seconds to process. There an especially long delay after processing the days. It becomes stuck at 15/15 for awhile.

Oh, and I'm running the latest patch with hotfix.

I consider my computer to be pretty high end but the amount of time it takes to process a turn is horrendous. I'm wondering if this is normal.
