Slowdown with triple speed?

[son of spam]

Maybe it's because my computer sucks, but did of you notice a huge lag when you turn on triple speed (or whatever the highest speed option is)?

I have a
1.6a pentium IV northwood
768 mb DDR pc 2700 ram
geforce fx 5600 ultra

I set the resolution to 800x600 32.

It's so bad that doing the battle on triple speed is just as slow as normal speed. Time to upgrade that CPU?

Was that during the main battle or just chasing off stragglers?
I trebled the speed at the straggler stage and suffered no ill effect.

I have highest settings selected and res is 1280 .. 32

System is

Athlon 2000+
GeForce 4 Ti 4200
512 ddr pc2700

Best bit is ....dx8....

It's kind of random for me. When I set triple sometimes it brings a HUGE lag and sometimes it's OK. My system is close to Orda Kahn just 1gb ram and 2500+ CPU.

I get it... but then again, I get it on Medieval and Shogun too :S

mine lags at first, but then the units kinda jump forward faster than they would at normal speeds.

I tried triple speed at the begining of the battle, it was fast but it kinda choked at one point, but everything went fine in a very fast rate, i lost but the enemy sustained heavy damage...
