Despite my low system specs (P3 866, 512 RAM) the game was running pretty darn well for me before the patch.

After installing the patch, however, there's a world of difference. The interface is slow and unresponsive, sometimes taking five or six clicks to even do what I'm telling it to. Offering contracts is just plain painful with the speed the text changes now. But I can live with that stuff.

The real pain comes in the games. Even on "very fast," the text is crawling along so slowly that each pitch is taking long enough that a real pitcher would be warned for slow pace. (An exaggeration, but not by much.)

It seems like the only thing that's relatively the same speed is the simming, although it was so fast before, it's entirely possible that it's slowed down too without me noticing a huge difference.

Any ideas? As it stands now, the game is pretty much unplayable in PBP mode, which is the way I like to play.
