500 cpt isn't a particularly good performance, IMO. I do agree with you that adding cultural buildings, in part through rushing, is the priority. It's cheaper, faster, and more effective to build cheap culture (libraries and temples) in the corrupt cities rather than try to build unis everywhere, for example. This means adding more cities. I go into more detail about this IN THIS POST in zyxy's How Many Cities? thread.
500 cpt is a GREAT performence. That's 1000 culture per turn every 2 turns -- 5,000 culture per turnchat, and, it's still increasing. We still have PLENTY of libraries to build. Some of our core cities don't even have unis and cathedrals yet. Besides, we can always make taxmen (2 gold) out of the corrupt cities to help pay for improvements. (or, revolt to communism).
