Big time lag issues

I got Civ 5 on opening day and installed it as soon as I got home. Since then, whenever I play, and more then 5 units/cities are on the screen at once, I get massive lag. It does eventually go away, but, comes back then. My PC is not the issue, I have above the recommended specs in all categories.

Has this been happening to anyone else? I love the game, save some of the stupid choices the AI makes, and would really like a chance to play it without waiting for 1-3 minutes each time I clog up my screen.

I should be running this game at full tilt, with everything turned up, however, do this to lag, I have everything turned to low or off in my graphics settings. I still lag with this set up.

For an example, I was playing a large map, only made 5 cities, going for a culture victory. Once I unleashed my armies to take down a no good city state, it would take me up to 5 min per turn, to move 4 rifles and 3 cavalry. The lag was worse in the Large Map mode, then it is on the small or tiny map. However, it happens no matter what map size I play.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you!
 
This issue seems to be completely system dependent :dunno:.
In one thread 2 players exchanged saves, and one said it took 15 seconds in the next turn, for the other more than a minute, and both system were not that weak :dunno:.

And system specs please, maybe we'll be able to detect a pattern, when we got more of them.
