He everyone,
from now and then I really like to dig out BOTF again. What really bothers me is the fact, that on huge maps game becomes hard to play after about turn 200. Truning time goes up to minutes. Even latest PCs I played on did not seem to behave more performant than builds from 1 years ago.
Is there any way to increase performance accordingly to real CPU power?

No, multi core support wouldn't work for AI calculations since BotF core files cannot handle multiple access (even Supremacy has some issues).
You can try some workarounds, but most have limited impact & bad side effects:

I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.
