This made me smile (in a mad, wild eyed manner, admittedly) -

even at x8200+ time compression it takes like 1-2 minutes
Yesterday I read about 1/2 book (Evelyn Waugh, 'Officers and Gentlemen' since you asked) while I transitted from a truckstop called Midway to Manchuria. I'm really hoping that even more RAM helps here - I'm serious, I've had entire transits running in chug mode once going beyond 1024, and 2500 miles at 7kts is, errr.... say 350 ish hours of gametime - which ought to take around 20 minutes to run but in chug o'vision takes perhaps 1 to 1.5 REAL hours. No joke, I really have sat here reading a book for an hour and a half while my sim transits to the area. Hope the extra RAM helps - I had 1.5Gb to start with and a 4Gb swapfile on C, defragged, reloaded everything....

Okay, I read the book over several transits really. It's a good book, by the way, despite having only one submarine in it.
