It really depends on your rig. With my old Radeon 9800/1.5 chip and 1 gig ram, it took ages, and I mean forever, now it's quite rapid. Adding ram helps, but a fast chipset helps a lot too. Without any new hardware, maybe try giving SH3 priority using the Windows Task Manager?
The loadtimes for the museum are indeed ridiculous, I think it has to do with the game somehow loading the entire game-engine to portray the units. I never use it though.
