I couldn't say if there were any cheats to slow it down.  But the
reasoon it is like that is because they wanted to make it easy to get
into and easy to complete in a single sitting, fun & fast.  Not only
does it play faster but the super weapons are easier to build, and the
paper-rock-scissors unit balance is more extreme.

They may have gone a little too far -- some of the missions are over
in 20 minutes -- but it's a fun campaign nonetheless.
