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.

SH3 + GWX 3.0 = 1 minute

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.

No idea about my load times. The initial load is pretty quick - maybe 45secs? But after selecting my career save-game or single mission, I usually bugger-off and make a pot of coffee and a sandwich for the coming night's game-time! When I hear the diesels throbbing, I go back in the room! Yeah - it's quite a while to load!

Correct!

100% true, that's a Windows issue, we (Apple people) don't need any defragmentation on our OS. You certainly need to use defragmenter with every installation.

well, for me it takes about 7 minutes, and i can't see any improvment after defrag, cause from what i know there is no significant difference for NTFS drives.

1945 you can attack ships but you have to be very cautious in selecting your targets. Lone unarmed merchants are rare and anything with an escort is likely to be a handful as the detection gear is getting to the stage where you are going to be detected 80-90% of the time unless you are extremely careful and lucky.

one tip is to use the light harbour traffic mod...i'm sure it knocks some time off loading.

not complaining though gwx worth the wait
