How many races do you play against in SP?

[Atrocities]

When I set up a game, I select medium life galaxy (huge) (manually edited the file so I have 240 systems) and medium numbers of AI enemies and neturals. (about 12 to 14)

The game moves quickly at first, then slows way down. As you conqure enemies, the game begins to speed up again.
