Have you tried updating your flash player? Another thing to try that helps a bit is to click on the little "eye" icon in the upper right of your screen. This toggles the quality, so things won't be quite as clear, but it allows for faster movements. One other idea is that if you have LOTS of animals, you might be able to speed things up by selling some of them. This has worked for a few other players (the animals take up alot of the flash players' ability)
