I really think that the people having trouble with the AI turn time must be playing some REALLY big scenarios with lots of AI. I have an old Sempron 2800+(1.6ghz) and have just played a 45x45 game with 4 AIs and the AI turn time is really fast, 1min, 1h30seg MAX. In a 40x40 game with 3 AIs the game goes really fast.

Forbidden, they are playing Really Big Games. One person has a post asking how to create a 200x200 hex map! Like you, I enjoy medium and small games and find very little lapse. But try the Diplomacy scenario sometimes, with 10 sides, and you will find there can indeed be a significant wait. Once in a while I do assay a Big Game; and keep a good military history history book at hand to read while waiting. This doesn't bother me but a lot of younger players (and some not so young) love monster games and wont little to no waiting time between moves.

I play huge, 6 player maps. I just noticed one parameter that makes a big difference on AI turn time: "Optimize for AI" option during random map creations. If that option is not slected, then turn times are a more reasonable 1-3 min, compared to 15-20 min.
