It's not only OSX/Linux, the Windows version is a bit embarrassing with its performance and graphics glitches too. I really hope they're using a different game engine for this one. Civ5 late games with massive maps are very tedious to play even with a beefy gaming desktop.

I think the AI turns are quite CPU bound with the current engine, so I agree. Late game end turns take forever to complete.

Last time I profiled it, most of the execution was in vsprintf. I'm pretty sure the answer is just “nobody put time for that in the budget”, as with multiplayer support.
