Disney's Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon Blunders

Unfortunately... Disney's Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon is as slow as molasses. Not on your computer, it doesn't slow that down. It's the game - it can take minutes of real time to sail from one fight to the next. It speeds up after a while and the multiplayer maps are all about quick combat. But it's serious, 'Click, make a sandwich, click, eat the sandwich' type slow at first.
