I modded the file for time compression settings to make the max 2048. Anyways I don't have this problem except for at times when I run 2048, then it stutters and pauses from time to time. I think this is due to the vast number of units in game. The computer has to track all the convoys, ships, planes, etc. Even if you never locate them. The math involved must be astronomical. Because of this it puts tremendous load on the CPU.
Try closing any background programs before you start the game. If your not online it would be safe to close any anti-virus software that is running. Not sure why your having trouble though as your processor is similar to mine. I have an AMD quad 2.2 9550. In this case I don't think the GPU is much of a factor. I have 8GB of memory, that could be why I don't see this effect until at 2048 compression.
Not sure how many memory slots are available on your machine. If your have 4 slots
and you currently have 4 sticks of 1GB RAM. You might consider getting 2 sticks of 2GB RAM to swap with two of the 1GB sticks. Then you would have 6GB. I like Crucial memory. 2 sticks of 2GB was running for $50 about 60 days ago. Sometimes there are rebates.
Actually games from this date are not taking full advantage of quad processors because this processor didn't exist yet.
