I remember moving units in Civilization 2. When you moved a unit it would immediately move to the next unit available. This has been driving me absolutely insane in Civ 4: the unit you just move stays selected for about half a second afterwards. Turning on Quick Movement helped a little but not enough to make me happy. It's so annoying that at times I have moved something to the wrong square thinking the previous unit still had a move to go - especially when it comes to boats and planes. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it possible to fix? It's definitely at the top of my list of things I hate.
Moving units and the delay afterwards

yep, this annoys me too.
i just make sure to wait a bit before i make a move to make sure that i'm moving the right unit.
it's not really that bad, but it's noticable.

I havn't found it to be a problem, it makes it much easier to give workers orders (click where you want them to go and hit the order key in the same move). There was a significant delay before they moved at one point, but they fixed that in the patch.

It drove me crazy the first day.
Now I don't use the numberpad to move units anymore. I just use "g" and the mouse.

Ohh...
The numpad likely would have some problems, since keypresses are stored. I haven’t encountered any difficulties with the mouse though: if your click isn't long enough or you're moving while you click, it ignores it, preventing accidental movement most of the time (I've had it do this for me about a dozen times in the past two months when I clicked somewhere on accident).

I had delays before I upgraded my RAM, and none afterwards. Seems to be a memory related issue. The patch should also improve the situation, as it optimizes memory usage.
