This is not my experience. Not significantly anyway. Combat normally are very fast in my games (compared to the modern editions). Only...

The two weapon attack a player can put the modified to hit in the sheet, no problem. The other modifiers exists with thac0 or AAC too...

This is what I do. The players just put the numbers on the sheet. There is no need of any math during play most of the time. Sometimes...
