My 5500 downloads is about 1.5 GB. It loads in 3 minutes from clicking the icon to inside the lot. (I love my Raptor!!!) :D Compressed, it was 5 minutes just to get to the choose a neighborhood screen. Where I promptly shut the game down, deleted the downloads folder and replaced it with the backup. If it took 20 minutes to load my game, I wouldn't!
I keep my DL folder to just under one gig; have about the same load time as you do (and the Raptor). Played tonight and noticed that my RAM dropped to 822MB (I run with two gig) in BV. It's a RAM eater.
Twenty minutes to load? That's ridiculous. My rig is three years old and I'd walk away from any game that took ten minutes to load, let alone 20.
On a positive note, over the past couple of days I've been building a rental house and played it for the first time tonight (after converting the zoning to hotel). The maid was super attentive, making beds, taking out the trash, cleaning toilets, etc., and best of all, only one NPC showed up. She had a hissy fit because she could not gain entry to the house and the fencing kept her off the beach. So she left. This is the first vacation lodging that was actually enjoyable to play.

Not ridiculous to me, certainly. Hey, I can fix dinner, clean, or whatever else while letting it load. Besides, my loading time is not as bad as those with older systems who try to play with 10+ Gigs of downloads. Their loading time is around an hour or more.

My game takes 15-20 minutes to load too, and I've only got about 3Gb of downloads. It doesn't make too much of a difference whether I have custom content in game or not - it takes the same amount of time either way. It's annoying, but not that bad. I just open it up, and while it's loading I continue to look around on the internet for a bit or have that toilet break that I've been too lazy to get up and have. A lot of times I get so caught up in what I'm doing on the net, I forget I had the game loading :D

Is anyone else having problems getting their sims to play SSX3? They will play it autonomously, but whenever I direct them to do it, it drops out of their queue. I tried replacing the computer (lost $1000 due to depreciation, grr) and still the same problem.
And no, I don't have any hacks related to computer usage.

I wish, they are all over that computer >.<
