Right, done some testing now.
Before each test, these steps were followed:
- boot system
- wait 3 mins for W7 to settle
- load Process Monitor
- run the SH4.exe (made two: SH4-ORG.exe and SH4-LAA.exe)
- start process monitor
- play a bit
- exit SH4
- read Process Monitor
Test 1, standard TMO career, approaching harbour for attack, 9 ships in play.
Test 2, run single mission "Tokio-Saipan Convoy", 23 ships in play.
Screenshots of Process Monitor.
Test 1, org. and patched:

I notice, the CPU barely breakes any sweat...
Conclusion:
I found no difference, but at least it didn't crash SH4. Seems to run unaffected.
Would like to test, if someone has a mission with a humongeous load of ships...
"Hey! It's only a drill!"
