Any suggestions for speeding up turn processing?

Hmm, what kind of a rig are you getting only 40 second turns with? 40 seconds would be completely acceptable IMO assuming combat were being resolved, but 7 minutes is truly unplayable.

And no, it cant be compared to Civ or GalCiv per se, but IMO there is something wrong with the game design if its going to resolve combats in such detail that it takes more time to process the turn than it does to take the turn!
