Playing the 41-45 campaign how long on average does the ai take to process its turn on your machine?
When does it get unacceptable for you ?

It varies a lot depending on where I am in the campaign and what side I'm playing. An overall average (useless really) might be 5 minutes on my rig. I don't watch the AI turn usually so it never get unacceptable. Plenty of time to get another beer while the AI is moving.

I got the slow poke. I only have 768 mb of ram and it takes up to 45min to run a Soviet campaign turn. It gives me enough time to mow my front yard...lol...

It takes the AI about 10 minutes to do its turn on mine (4g ram). It could be a little faster than that since I have battle reports set to 5 seconds. There's always about 30 of them, so it could be a couple of minutes faster, I guess.

My turn takes from 5 minutes (in winter) to 30 minutes (in summer). Once I start piddling with every detail, the time will increase some.

Well over 3 days of solid play I only managed something like 20 turns...

Don't blame the machine - just the control freak who's operating it!

It's pretty bad here, 30-50 minutes for the Germans to finish their turns. I'm planning to get a better computer though, so I hope that will help.

It should. I just ran a test turn in the '41 campaign on my fairly high end rig and it only took the AI 8 minutes to complete the turn.

So what would speed up the turns? Memory 4G+ or more cpu?

Does WITE take advantage of dual or quad core processors?

I may have to upgrade my E6600 Dual core if a quad core would speed it up

Is there a memory leak in one of the modules that the AI has to access?

It really should only be 3 minutes a turn.

It takes my computer 4 or 5 minutes to process a turn. Me, on the other hand... I take a minimum of five hours to do a turn. Sometimes it takes even longer.
