I have Nvidia. Can't say whether the computer runs warm with ToW since it always does, but I have noticed a tremendous slowdown in everything. I first installed the game on my principal computer, which has XP and where I do most of my work and have all mail correspondence. It became so slow it was impossible to play. Fair enough, I thought, the XP being rather old these days. So I moved the game to my new Vista-computer, where most games with high-resolution and flashy graphics are run. It was better, but I noticed a certain slowness even here. There's a distinctive delay, for example, when moving the cartridge symbol, making it a bit difficult to make a number of fast movements of units. I also noticed that if you left the game to do something else (I'm now back with the PC), everything was extremely slow. Typing in Word gave a "two letters per second rate", so when I wrote something I could then lean back and watch my own text appear, letter for letter. Don't know much of such things, but it seems to me that if I'm not doing anything with the game for a while, there shouldn't be any activity from the game either. Could it be something within it "looping"?
