There may be, at some times, some advantage to using 1/2 speed even if you are constantly monitoring your tribe. While the value of most food items, veggies, coconuts and fish, are less in reduced speed, the values of Crabs and mushrooms of either color remain the same.

Food consumption seems to be a constant related to a village year, rather than to computer clock. So if you have a circumstance where you are relying on mushrooms for food you might consider switching to 1/2 time to gather some of these.

I've done no real testing on this, but based on casual observation, productivity (gaining Tech Points, for example) seem to be reduced greatly at 1/2 speed. I'm not so sure this is true for building projects, however. Has anyone done real tests o that? By tests, I mean setting a more or less identical crew to the same building task on two different villages, one running 1/2 speed, the other on 2x and comparing the times to do each.
