A "long time ago"?
SE5 only just came out! I thought you were talking about SE4 at first.

If turn processing times are annoying, I reccommend sticking with SE4 for a while. It has been polished up over the years and has very challenging AIs in the appropriate mods.
And, of course, the turn will process lickety-split on your fancy new box.

just a heads up - it runs minimized now!
(at least, it does from the command prompt, TBH I've not yet tried it normaly, but I'm guessing it works fine.)

With the next patch it should run minimized all the time.

Has anyone else noticed that after about 5 or 6 turns the game really grinds to a crawl. I have found that if I quit and close out of the game and then restart I am back to acceptable turn processing times. 5 or 6 turns later I am back to agonizingly slow turn processing.

I thought that this might by my virus software which has been doing some weird things as of lately, so I tried the same thing on my Mac with Bootcamp. Same results, when it slows down, I just quit and close out and then restart. Works pretty good. Even into the higher turns.

Memory leaks seems to be the current theory.
