With almost 1.5 gb of custom content, my initial load screen is 35 seconds,to the 'hood is about 5 seconds (its sparse), to a lot is about 5-15 seconds depending on the size.
It helps to have a hard drive that can load (at least) 50 MB per second, apparently.

How do you check how fast your hard drive is?
dizzy:
If you have a known amount of content loading, and you know the time it takes to load, it's a simple matter of division.
Otherwise, I guess you could use hdperf http://sourceforge.net/projects/hdperf/ or something like that.

Ok thanks ;)

I'm sorry to hear that you may or may not be keeping up with this thread, Hegelian. However, I hope someone can help me out a bit on this score:
I'm going to be buying a new computer in or around late Feb-early March. Unfortunately, it seems that every new computer comes prepackaged with Vista on it. I was thinking that I could simply use the WinXP System Restore Disks from my mother's computer (which is a Dell) to put XP back on it instead, but a local store dealer informed me that there may very well be an issue with the software it comes with not having XP drivers available. Would anyone be able to tell me if this computer would be able to take a System Restore XP installation on it with no trouble?
