Yes this is an even bigger difference for Paradox games even since they don't just have a dozen or so players(AI NAtions) but many more.
jpd said:Hoi 2 has a vastly improved AI when compared to hoi 1. Unfortunately, improvements in AI invariably come at the expense of CPU cycles, which means it takes more CPU time to come to a decision. This in turn will slow down the game's pace if you take out the artificially inserted turn-to-turn wait time (which you do if you let it run at the fastest speed setting).
If you run it at normal speed (it's called normal for a reason) then you will notice hardly any speed difference between hoi 1 and hoi 2.

It is only on the faster speeds that HOI2 is slower than HOI1
