Yeah, your 'hiccups' are due to the graphics loading, which we have established. It's also worth noting that you will get small 'hiccups' while at high TC due to the fact that SH3/GWX has to track all the traffic within a defined radius of your U-Boat, you can use this to tell that there are enemy vessel/planes about. Time for a hydrophone check?
Now, if you were at 1024 TC while in port, count youself lucky, most players can't even get upto 256 without stuttering.
As for the load times, well, this is to be expected, GWX has added so much more content to the basic game that there was always going to be some increase in load times. Nothing to worry about, just do as you did and go get a cuppa.
The AA & AF question has been answered, just force them in your Nvidia control panel. I find it useful to set/save a profile for this (and other games)
There is a resolution hack which will allow you to go above the fixed 1024 x 768 res set by the devs of SH3. You can read & download that here -

It can be a bit of a task to get it to work but will be worth it provided your system can handle the increase. There is some functionality lost in doing this but it is all explained in the link.
Enjoy GWX.
