way to speed up late game turn processing ?

[capnq]

The PBW server is set to assume a turn has failed if it takes more than 20 minutes to process. Sometimes this forces people to run turns offline. The longest I've ever seen was 35 minutes.

[Atrocities]

Defeat a few of the lessor AI players and the game speed will improve.

Play not using an FQM map - go standard
Do not save every turn, save manually or do it once every 3 or more turns.

Run the AI turns and see if there are any bottle necks.
