 Um, that 15-20 second turn processing time is for Turn 1, in 2400.1; with no ships for everyone in the game, just their starting planets. If it's THAT bad then, how bad will it be when people have 30-40 ships? 
 
And this by the way is on a Quad Core Q6600; something that most definitely was not widely available or cheap in 2006; when Space Empires 5 was released; most people still had relatively older systems that managed to run SE4 turns in a reasonable amount of time; and then BAM, they were hit with multi-minute turn processing...
