Long pauses

Last time I was getting frequent freeze-ups I decided to try rebooting my computer and it really helped. Don't know why but it's worth trying maybe.
Weren't there reports, or suggestions, that TS3 had memory leaks?
If so, that would explain why rebooting the computer helps.

Hell, yes. Jordi is right. Game should not be taking up almost 2 Gigs of my 4, as is what's happening when these long pauses occur.

I have seen the game take up nearly 6GB of the 12GB I have and push 2-3 of the 8 cores to 95-100% of usage. I have long felt that because of this, many people would experience fairly severe problems when the game tried to grab resources that weren't available, or simply pushed thei available resources to the max.
I hate to think how bad the EP is going to make things.
Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Wow, GTA4 doesn't tax my dual core as bad as that, and yes, TS3 is taking 99% of processes (Sweet Jeebus) around the time of the pause, but the bastard is still responding, of course (even though you can't do jack in the game).

My guy knows a guy, who did a little tweaking and was able to cut Sims 2 from sending empty packages (don't know what that means, but I guess it has something to do either with the processor or the memory ;) ). He was running the game for his girlfriend on some kind of a windows games emulator on linux on mac -thingy and got the game running smoothly. The only problem was the having a mac with linux on it -part; and he compiled the os himself. That would be a pretty hard thing for us non-techies to do.. I wonder if that could be done on Sims 3, with some genious programming skills.
