1.21f way slower than 1.17f

[Nonook]

I installed and ran 1.21f for a couple days. I found it way slower than 1.17f. I'm using the minimum 300 MHz and only play small maps with 3-4 total civs. I had to uninstall 1.21f and reinstall 1.17f in order to get any playability. Is there that much new code in this version or is there there some unoptimized code? I have to keep this dinosaur running for another 6 mos. and would like to play the game with updates (since version the out of the box version SUCKED). Any ideas?

Others have seen this too - check out the bug threads for 1.21. My problem was solved by disabling auto-save - there's new compression for file saves which seems to slow things down a bit. This didn't work for some, but it may for you. Also try disabling the special effects on movements.
