In that file, you can set the disable_sound to 1, which will disable sounds, but should get your sim speed right back to where it was before.

As mentioned, in the next patch, this will be fixed so that you will certainly not see the slowdown when simming games.
Just a quick addition that it looks like you have to restart OOTP after making the change (or, find the file directly first and edit before starting). Thanks for finding the work-around!
