Okay.... I'll do a cuppla test villages on this to get some idea. First quick look sez that food in bin and food in garden remain the same if game speed is switched. Now to see if production rate as measured by computer time varies with game speed. Will take your word for it about Tech points being gained more or less slowly in accodance with the food consumption rate, however. I was not able to quantify that in VV1 because of the variables like a Master Scientist seeming to gain points faster than one who is untrained.
