Default Tech slow down

Is there anyway to slow down the rate of research throughout the game without editing each component? I can't find anything in the Settings.txt to edit %'s on Low, Medium, High technology costs.

That is the best solution. Want techs to take twice as long to research? Halve the research points generated by each research center.

Isn't there a "Set research cost" option in the game setup menus which does a multiplier for all research cost figures?

Yes, but that is probably too fast for some people's tastes still. And, it does not affect the cost to research the first level of the tech, so really has no affect on the bulk of theoretical tech requirements.
