The idea with proportions is that since everything goes slower, you just generate turns more often. I can easily run through 100 turns before I really get anywhere in the game. This is probably a problem when playing against other players, though, as 100 turns will likely take 100 days.

Yep!

BTW a fan (sorry, I forget which one - Dogscoff? Rollo?) made a utility which auto-runs turns. You could probably get a jump start into a developed game position in Proportions by using this to get to turn 100, or 500, or ... one of the neat things about Proportions (IMO) is that it should extend the interesting play time to several hundred turns (or more) because of the delayed research and development. Especially on High research costs, but even Low or Medium are pretty gradual.
