Yes, it was (is) dramatically slower on my computer. In fact, it seemed to be perform worse than M2TW.

I did not notice any favourable differences in the engine and there was one unfavourable one (I forget the details - something like the camera being reverting back to an old view point if you made an action while switching to another unit).
