Don't worry about it. Most of the time you'll want to speed time UP. I usually switch to 5min when waiting for ships to arrive at destinations and I run at 1hour when waiting on research, etc.

Time does not pass while you are in the Base screens, the UFOpaedia, the funding and graph screens, etc. You can "pause" the game just by looking at your bases.

When events occur on the world map, like alien ships appearing, it also "pauses" while you decide what to do.

Open the Game Folder.
Open Dosbox.config File with an Text Editor.
Look for the Command Line:
cycles=auto limit 16000
Rise/Lower this Numbers will fasten up/slow down the Emulation Speed of TFTD..
Don't forget to save the changes to the Textfile when you exit the Editor.

This is actually a dosbox problem
Usually. For some reason it ticks at a redicoulos rate. I see now that @Raumelch has already given the fix.
