Extreme slow ship movement

I have a problem with extremely slow ship movement playing on Insane map with 8 AI opponents – no pirates. I own some 62 colonies and have a lot of ships on the map. When I want to execute at movement the game stops a few seconds and start to move the ship in one or two steps each taking some time. No smooth movement. It helps to zoom in close but not much. If I switch to the next 'Idle Ship" while first ship is moving, the game hangs while the first ship stutters towards its destination. I noticed that my CPU works hard all the time even if not action is taking place in the game.

Game takes up some 9.5 GB of RAM.

Intel i7 3770K, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 750 TI

What can I do?

I have seen this when the ship movement causes changes in the fog of war.

In my case it helped a little bit to disable "lean maps" in the graphics option, but the ship movement only gets smooth again when I have such a high visibility on the map that the ships don't change the fog of war when moving.

Have you tried doing the opposite and zooming out?

You know, zoom out to that point where simplified graphics kick in?

this actually worked for me I had a similar issue but seems to have evened out after lowering some settings overall.

I have tried this, but that changes nothing - still extremly slow movement. It also makes it very difficult to hit the right end position for the ship!.

I have the same problem of very slow ship movements in the middle-game and in the end-game, even with all graphic options disabled. I'm playing on maps of size "Immense" with 7 opponents and pirates.
