If I may join in the debate, I can confirm that those two windows
create a certain amount of slowdown, as one would expect.

Yet, I have also been able to recreate a peculiar phenomenon which
has been reported here a few weeks ago by someone: there can be a
considerable slowdown caused by one or two open train windows. And
ist is important what kind of train it is.

I have a number of longish freight trains (14-tile-trains, i.e.
engine plus 27 cars) in my game. I can open the train windows of as
many oil transporting trains as I wish without a discernible effect.
But If I open two train windows for fish transporting trains
(refrigerator wagons), the display becomes choppy.
