That was a lot of work. I expected the difference from an I7 to an I5 to be more significant on Civilization since its supposed to be very CPU dependent.

I've been trying to tell people for years that CPUs don't make as much of a difference as they think now that video cards have so much onboard power. Only a 10% difference on most games from top to bottom with my video card (Radeon R280).
