Well, running the 0.4.7. version I get these results
END: unit_attack (took 88ms)
BEGIN: unit_attack
END: unit_attack (took 103ms)
BEGIN: unit_attack
END: unit_attack (took 170ms)
BEGIN: unit_attack
END: unit_attack (took 163ms)

with 0.4.8 I get
BEGIN: move_unit
END: move_unit (took 764ms)
attacking...
BEGIN: unit_attack
END: unit_attack (took 799ms)
BEGIN: unit_attack
END: unit_attack (took 753ms)

And I'm using the "accelerated" option in the preferences.
What has happend? It's almost not playable on my 1,3 GHz CPU with enough memory.

Could you give some more details? What OS are you running? If GNU/Linux what is the distribution and release? Do you run pre-built binary or did you compile from source by yourself?

For me Wesnoth runs just fine in 1.2 GHz Duron with acceleration and without acceleration. Operating System is GNU/Linux, distribution is Debian (Sid).

In both cases, debian gnu/linux 3.0r1 stable.
The fighting animation in 0.4.7 is much quicker.

I've checked some changes into CVS which should hopefully make it faster.
