I remember Colonisation took ages on my 386 in the latter parts of the game
also when switching turns.. ;)

It was quite fixed in the original version, I'd foresee this as being fixed
until v1.0.

Declaring Independance should only be allowed if at least 50% of your
population supports the notion. If you can do it from turn 1, that's
probably not a check that is being applied (ie. sounds like a bug).
