Screen Change Delays

Using my laptop for the game, it forces full-screen (as expected) due to the 1366 x 720 (or whatever) resolution. Is this the reason that every screen transition is delayed? The effect is as follows:

1) Click on icon that loads a new screen
2) Delay
3) Clicking sound
4) Delay
5) New screen loads

Oddly, sometimes when there are multiple methods of moving from a given screen to a particular other screen, only one of the methods will cause this lag.

Most critically, I wonder if this is at the heart of why the game sims so slowly. It takes far longer for the game to advance even from August 5 to the start of training camp in a simple NHL /AHL setup than it takes to simulate an entire MLB / MiLB season in OOTP, using the same computer. Simulating the actual season (classic or 2D mode) is even worse. It seems like the issue is not the simulating, per se, but that the game in effect updates the screen in some native resolution and then has to convert the updated screen into the forced full-screen resolution. So each set of new player cards (during the off-season) or each day’s updated standings (once games have begun) is automatically going through the screen transition latency described above.

Any help would be appreciated. The issue really sucks the enjoyment out of playing, and would (depending on what hardware I might be using in the future) preclude me from purchasing subsequent editions of the game.

Thank you in advance for any feedback.
