Well, keep in mind also that SR5's processing time is supposed to improve in the next patch and it isn't completely due to combat.

There's two things messing up SE V's turn processing times, from what I can see. The first is the slow system ship movement( which was even worse a few patches ago ), the second is the combat calculations. The actual AI scripts, i.e. 'thinking', doesn't appear to take any time at all.

I don't understand why 32x time rate ( or 64x for that matter ) wasn't included in the game in the first place, though. And what kind of CPU does one need to actually take full advantage of the 32x mode in a regular-sized combat? Does all beta testers get four times as fast combat on 32x vs 8x mode?

Well, the main problem is the whole idea that combat should be calculated at any "X-speed".

It should be processed at the speed of math.
