Ever since the start of my attack on an alien fleet the game has been stuck in 5 sec increments. I thought it might be a result of my attack on the aliens so SMed the fleet to another system. However, the 5 sec increments persist and have been for the past couple of hours on auto-turn. I assume they are the result of NPR activities.
The version is 1.8.0. DB is attached if anyone wants to look at it.
