Why is it taking so long for each turn?

Okay guys I've been playing with a few mods and I am going to describe my settings and hope somebody can offer a solution. Right now I am at about turn 800 and it takes 2 minutes to process each turn and its very frustrating.

My computer

Cpu: Intel Xeon 2.4 ghz Quad Core with 8 threads
Ram: 16gb
Video Card: Ati Radeon 6990 with 2gb ram (has two processors so its constantly running in crossfire)

Mods:
-----
Not yet another earth map
A few simple unit mods

I am playing with 6 total countries including myself, no city states or barbarians.

I tried using dx9 and dx11

There are lots of units in the game, I have about 20-30 naval ships and about 40-50 armed units and another 10-15 tanks units. About 20 airplanes and about 10 nukes.

What can I do to quicken the turn time?
Thanks guys

Get a drink while you wait? Technically, I think if you turn of "auto" moves you can access your cities and do "other" things while you "wait". The game was designed so that everything can happen at the same time, which seems weird for a turn based game. If you have that many units and the AI has that many units, it will take some time to move them, even though theoretically it should happen at the same time. The computer still has to figure out the outcomes if there are any battles and if there is a conflict in where all the units are being placed.

I think they are working on the Ai and allowing them to "station" units, so they are not constantly moving.
