That problem hasnt got anything to do with your computer. Its warcrafts 'problem'.

Computer players work same way as human players in a way. When you tell a computer player to move 100 units at same time, the comp player does the same thing you would do; he selects 12 units (max unit number which you can select) and orders them to move, then he selects another 12 units and orders them to move etc. etc.

There is no solution to this problem, except that you can (if your map allows) make more computer players and divide the units for the other computer players making each comp player to move less units, like 25 units for each comp (4 comps).

No, so long as the same amount of units are moved and the orders are not to intenseive then will not cause lag.

You mean you still have the problem after you've divvied up the units among more computer players? Or did you not do that yet? Also make sure that there is an actual computer players assigned to all the units that belong to different computer players, not just the units changed to a new owner with the slot inactive.
