i have finally installed GWX and i'm loving it! the only issue i have is that the loading time is more than double compared with the stock version. is there anything i can do about that?

What are your computer specs ???

Loading times will increase the more units you add
Also campaign file size is double the stock game

intel core 2 duo, 2GB ram and a geforce 8800card, that's all i can tell you right now, need to check on more details. but since the files are much larger it makes sense if it takes longer to load, so it should be fine.

My specs are AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ with 4gigs of RAM and my loading times are around 30sec to the menu and 2-3 minutes when starting a new patrol from port.

And this is roughly cut in half if I play a patrol, quite SHIII and start it again.

I feel ya :( Even with 3.0's improved load times, it easily takes 10-15 minutes to load a patrol. About half the time I'll have found something new to keep my attention by the time GWX has loaded. :lol:
