Same here. Played the original to death. Never really got into the sequels.

Click build a road .. wait 2, 3, 4, Click economy overview.. wait 2, 3, 4.

Its madening and ruins what otherwise would be an awsome game.

I went through all the tutorials which were quite well done built a few city starts but I understand the bugs pop up in the end game.

It would be alot more fun if I had more machine I guess.
Might I ask what the specs are? From what I've seen the performance/lag is a rather common issue, not entirely sure the delay is a result of hardware falling short. Seems more like it's just a clunky engine.
