Like I said before, I can run all kinds of games with no issues whatsoever, so I don't know why this game is so slow going back to port. Going out on a mission is flawless as I can run the TC as fast as I want, usually I can go faster than I want. The problem is always coming back.
So, I'm still at a loss.

As a system's engineer you know there is a lot more to it then just CPU and RAM. I have never heard of anyone with this problem as a "bug". It is usually something with the computer and usually a combination of things. Could your machine be overheating? I am running a 3.4 dual (Pentium D) and 3GB Ram and when I have a problem it is usually the video card but I do have problems near areas with a lot of ships.
You may be running into a lot of 'traffic' that is not close enough for you to see, but the computer has to track it. If you sank a lot of ships, that is more info for the computer to track. Try different things, like go to your mission but don't do anything, just turn around and go back, see what that does. Try going towards South America and back, very little traffic there, see what happens.
I know on some fairly fast machines getting near Midway can grind the computer to a halt. I know somewhere on this forum there is a post from someone that can play without many problems, but he can always tell when he is near a big Task Force because his machine starts getting jerky.
Try different routes going back, see if there is any difference. It's a hard thing to pinpoint but it is usually the computer not a bug. Also shut off any other programs you may have running. Also are you running any MODs other than Webster's that you mentioned?
The reason the machine goes slower when you go higher on the TC is the computer can't keep up. So even though the number is bigger, the computer is fighting to try to keep up.
One big thing to try is lowering the graphics settings. I know everyone wants the eye candy, but it's no good if you can't play the game, and most of the time you are underwater looking through a periscope.
Personally if it only happens on the way back, I would suspect overheating first.
