Do you experience heavy slowdown in tactical combat?

from Elemental Forums

I have been getting heavy slowdowns in tactical combat ever since I got into the Beta.  Whenever I play for long periods of time, eventually a tactical combat will slow down to be unplayable.  Once it happens once, it will keep happening very often, so I just end the combat, restart and restore.

Well I just found out that if you zoom in as close as you can, the slowdown disappears, so you can win the battle, save, and then restore from that... because restoring from an auto-save does not quite work.

I have seen this a few times, but not often. Usually I have to click on autoresolve to get on.

Not very often, but I see it.  I still get some wierd glitches that stop the game.  Just now I had the turn button disappear and I was stuck at the end of my turn.  These types of things ussually occur after the game has been open for a while.

I've had problems with this slow down also, but it only seemed to happen if I'd used ctrl+n to get a better starting position at the beginning.  Once this idea had hit me I started to notice that games where I never used ctrl+n didn't have this slow down issue.  It could however just be coincidence.

I do not use restarts and take what I get, doesnt help me. Could be that the ctrl+n does make the problem come earlier though (release memory issues).
