The simulation doesn't have to run in full detail, there could be approximations made far away from sentients. Also, the speed of the simulation doesn't need to be 1:1.

This is what I think of when considering spacetime and relativistic effects. If you think of "matter" as being equivalent to processing power required, then the more processing required, the longer it takes to update the entire frame. So other things with less matter are updated more quickly relative to more massive segments.
