So the machine: A Lenova Yoga, 2.4 GHz Intel i3-7100U, running Windows 10. This same machine ran DDCB2018 with no difficulty and for awhile I was even running Civ5 successfully (not impressively, but successfully).
The behavior: The icons slow down, stop, suddenly jump ahead several in the game - similar to what you'll see when a streaming video stalls and then jumps ahead to catch up to where it ought ot be. At the beginning of a game it tends to run fairly smoothly, but it will invariably begin to have problems near the end of the first half or early in the second half and continue for the rest of the game. This is at "half speed" (as measured by the slider position). If I reduce to about 20-25% slider and make sure I have no web browser open, then it can run decently, although not perfectly; having Chrome open, even to a static page, definitely harms the performance of the 2D display.
