After snooping around for a while I'm fairly sure this is the correct place to post, if its not I apologize and would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
I just bought GalCiv 2 ultimate and I believe I'm having some kind of performance bug. Take a look at this screenshot:

I get 4 FPS in this shot, 'best' graphics settings with AA off. After playing with the options I discovered that disabling ship textures brings me back up to 40+ FPS. The more ships on screen the lower my FPS is. Even in the ship editor I get a huge FPS drop. I do not understand why this game is bringing my computer to its knees, especially considering I played the vanilla version 3-4 years ago on a vastly inferior machine and it ran great. Here are my specs:
Win XP 32 SP3
e5200 3ghz 2mb cache
3870 512mb with latest drivers (updated them about 2 days ago)
3.4gb of ram
