Playing Civ3 on a Powerbook G4 667 is painfully slow under MacOS X. Haven't tried MacOS 9. Just bringing up an advisor takes forever. Anyone else noticed this?

Further info... It works well under MacOS 9. Also works well under MacOS X if you turn off Quartz font smoothing. The only place to do this is under the dialog box on startup of Civ 3.
