It's not just your specs. Game locks up on me there, too.

I recently upgraded to a Core 2 Duo 6700 OC'd to 3.3 GHz, 2 gigs of RAM, overclocked 8800GTS, and so on, and it takes what seems like forever for the captain's log/messages/objectives clipboard to come up. The entire game freezes.

On my old system (P4 3.06), the captain's log screen on SH3 came up instantly. On SH4, it's a game pause of unknown length before you can do anything else.

I really like the extra radio traffic and more updates on ships, convoys, and task forces with SH4, but you'd think they would make it where a contact message only stays in the queue for so many hours (or maximum number of messages to display) before they get removed. It's one thing for a long patrol to take longer to load because of more sunken ship icons on the map and in the captain's log, but the received messages queue needs to be reduced.

In the meantime, I'll take a look at the contacts.cfg file like in the posted link.
