IGC (1.8) Tech progress too Slow ?

Hi,
I'm sure the question already arose, but I'm lazy and so don't search :p ...
I'm playing IGC 1.8 as Russia : year is 1560 now, and I'm investing much revenue in Land Tech, much less in Naval.
My Russia is already pretty big and wealthy : I annexed all Khanates, Pskov, Ryazan, Georgia, part of Crimea, and took Armenia. I'm now colonizing the East thanks to my 1st conquistador.
Tech levels at that time should be around 11 : but in fact NOONE (I checked the saves) is above 8, either in Land or Naval...
I'm myself at 7 Land / 5 naval, other nations have similar levels in Land, but Portugal is at 8 in Naval.
OTOH, a friend told me that in the normal GC Tech progress was way too fast...
Is that slow progress a normal "feature" of the IGC, or is my game "abnormal" ?

As I understand, tech progress is slow for the game, regardless of IGC. Real EU speeds it up somewhat, but apparently not to historical rates. Paradox patch 1.09 is reputed to address this.
