There are some ways of speeding up play. Once you get to a certain size, then mostly use the nation overview screen (F1) you can enter most commands directly there - and it is easy to see what hasn't been moved or a mage that needs to be researching instead of defending etc.
Also things like selecting all mages in a province and then that allows you to cast summons of whatever for all of them as it directly cycles through the spell casting window for all the mages selected.
