In the civilization3.ini file, put in "KeepRes=1" (without the quotes).

More importantly, turn off all of the animations (except battles).

Another thing that I have noticed is that Civ3's performance is severly hampered if your drive is fragmented. Back last november I had slow performance and crashes after an two-three hours of playing. But defragging my hard drive fixed all that.
