Haha! For awhile I was running 2 instances of Dom3 at a time. Since it localizes to 1 core, a little wiggling could insure that both games were on separate cores, and get their full processing power. But I noticed as the games got deeper in (turn 30 or 40+), sometimes I would End Turn, then Tab over to the other one, and suddenly I'd be SO confused about what my research goal was, or who I forged X item for, etc.

It is fun though, but you have to stay sharp to pull it off. The best suggestion I'd have in such a case, is run a different TBS game in another tab, so you can keep thought patterns cohesive, but still not be pressured with your time and attention, or bored while waiting for turns to resolve.
