The game can compute only so much in a single second. If it has to do 1024 times as much in the single time. Then you need a bigger computer! So the developers made it so that the TC level number of calculations (minus 1) are skipped. The game-time periods between position updates are increased. But this also means that they might jump across your rendering/sensor/crew visibility range entirely. So you won't notice they are there, and hopefully they don't either (until it gets boring). However, in some instances bad luck will befall on you and the next calculation step might land one enemy unit deep into your sensor range. And you or your crew will have little to no time to react because you can't dive as fast.
This is NOT a bug! It is a necessary limitation of TC due to limited computer power.
