Not quite sure whether this goes in Off Topic, or here, but here goes:
I've recently reinstalled NWN, however, once I get past the initial boot-up screen, it slows down considerably. It played just fine on my desktop, but it doesn't seem to like my laptop very much. I'm currently running on Windows 7.
Halp!
I'm back up to 1.69 via the critical rebuild, but from what I've read that seems to be what's causing the problem.
Control+alt+del right click on NWN process, set affinity, and put it to one core instead of two.
Also upgrade your sound drivers.
There's another way to set the affinity. Windows 7 doesn't really like you tampering around in the Task Manager, I guess. It hated me too when I tried it that way.
Go into your NWN directory, find the nwnplayer.ini file and it should look something like this at the top.

The green is where you can set the affinity, obviously. Just change that to 1 or 0. I had the exact same problem as you, Cratz, until I set the affinity to 0.
That should be in our logo. "Amia: A Peristent Role-Playing World - Turn off shiny water."
That's assuming the extremely unlikely scenario that there's an NWN player left in the world who doesn't know about it.

Check what "sound" scheme NWN is using in the Options -> Audio (?) section.
Both Arklon and myself had to change it from the default to one of the Dolby's. It changed the game from a slow crawl to as fast as you'd expect a 10 year old game to play on current tech.

Speaking of which, why the hell do I only get 30 FPS in a 10 year old game XD Really I assume compatibility issues and translation from the old program to Win7 and current drivers, but still haha.

Disable visual themes too, NWN is kinda old and themes don't work well with it in Win7. Yes, even though it's a fullscreen application and you'll never see the titlebar or window frame.
