I'm assuming you're using GWX. Stock always loaded pretty quick. Once I got GWX, the load time increased considerably due to the huge increase in units.
My old machine took about 14-16 minutes to load as well, even after doing some RAM changes.

I got a better computer from my wife's work after they upgraded in March/April and now the load times are half of that.

Can't help you on the 1945 thing. I haven't made it that far yet.

My load times are not as long as 14 mns..maybe 5-7 minutes, I have never timed it.

As far as the end of the war after about 7 careers, I have yet to survive til the end of the war... hedgehogs..

It takes mine 10 minutes or more. It's because of all the extra units, and is one of the few things you really can blame on GWX.

In a good way, of course.

These are my loading times:

SH3 in 1 minute
SH3 + NYGM 2½ minutes
SH3 + GWX 3½ minutes
SH3 + LSH3 4 minutes
SH3 + WAC 6 minutes

All, when you have passed the first loading screen. For example: load a career.

MacBook Pro 15" with BootCamp and Windows XP SP3 (and solid sate harddrive).

I suppose that the above loading times are quick, and assume it is because the solid state drive.

It usually takes 2 and 1/2 min at most for SH3+GWX3 to load on my rig and less than 2min for SH3+NYGM3.3. Make sure you keep your disk defragmented guys.
