Sheesh turn down the draw ahead, make your cars shown to be 20 or less in
front, 3 or 4 behind...  set draw ahead like 40% seems to me this speeded up
my p2 1000 machine until I upgraded...  play with the draw until the track
corner (not necessarily the buildings or details)  aren't appearing to be
built in front of you....
