      How much RAM do you have Geo?

      I have ATI Radeon Mobile 9000, 64 MB
      RAM 256 MB

      Game is so slow, that I wonder if this is really memory size issue or memory leak or just not optimized code.

        AMD Athlon (P4) 512 RAM, 2.8 (overclocked) Mhz

        I noticed a gradual slowing of the game as well over time. I have to try out Snoopy's "delete cache prior to starting the game" trick.

        Last year I had a pretty much graphic intensive game (my card was spot on the minimum specs there) and it ran smoothly. The developper was known for its coding optimizing. It does look like the problem here.

          I did cashe deleting and it did not help. Game worked smooth in the beginning. I am at 1860 around. All average- map size, 7 players. Turns are processed like 5 minutes each. Scrolling works like 3 secends each tile in extreme cases. I think it is a problem of page file memory in my case, due to only 256 MB.

          My processor is 2.8 GHz too. But it matters little here.

          I am not in a position for any memory upgrades at the moment. I think Civ4 will be not for me for some time.
