Up to speed 2 is a set limit. Speed 3 is simply as fast as your CPU can handle. If the game's too slow, it's because of your CPU.

I have an Intel i5-4670 3.40 GHz, is that a bad cpu?
It's not that bad, but Stellaris (as well as other PDX games) are mostly single-thread (most, but not all calculations going through the said thread), so while 'complexly' you have a nice CPU, in terms of single-thread performance it'll be slower than 7th generation Intel Cores or newest AMD Zen (but how much? I can't say, since it's too complex)

I'm playing a game on a medium map, with relatively few empires, and few habitable planets, and I'm still seeing significant lag mid-late game.
