Oh My! I think EA might have done something smart for a change!
kazebird:
If the people that noticed change have dual core, that supports my theory. If not, it's back to the drawing board.
Edit: What about ATI cards? I have an ATI Radeon X1600 video card. Do you guys have an ATI card, because possibly that is behind it!
Windows XP Home SP2
iMac Intel via Bootcamp
2.16GHz, 0.98 GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1600
All EP's
No SP's because their not worth it.
socurious:
I run Sims + all eps and sps on a non-awesome dual core laptop and, other than tight pants and n00bness, have not had problems with any of the eps. The game loads quickly; neighborhoods a little slower. I haven't read anywhere that EAxis was going to make the game take advantage of dual coredness. If your theory is correct, it is merely coincidental or accidental.

I'm running a dual core laptop with all EPs (minus BV because I didn't like it) and an ATI Radeon X1400 video card. I was surprised at how quickly the game loaded after installing AL; however, I upped my RAM to 2g over the summer and it may simply have been a result of that.
Ambular:
I wonder if they sneakily deteled some old stuff like they've done before. For example, some early-EP houses have been known to disappear from the lots and houses bin with the installation of a new EP. Less content to load = faster load time, presumably.
sewinglady:
I'm running a quad-core (and no I'm not bragging about it, I don't see that much difference) and there doesn't seem to be anything loading any faster than it was with FreeTime...yeah things sped up considerably when I moved the game to this computer from my previous one (it was limping along kinda like an in-game zombie)...but nothing's really made things any faster than it was when I first loaded it here.
And I'm sure Maxis didn't do anything right...except their track record is perfect - they broke the piano again.
