Did the defrag, my settings are there in the image btw.
The menus take just as long, but its a 4second freeze, the mouse appears, then 2-3 more seconds.
Same with "esc" and gear.
Specs:
Q6600 @ 2.4ghz
2gigs ram
WinXP Service pack 2
GTX 250 (I know it sucks but I don't really care..)
I get high fps with my current settings.. around 80.
Also, if i die in a mission, the menu that pops up take six seconds to load.. So it's leading me to believe that this problem occurs when something else happens in-game, for example, the map popping up, gear, the esc menu, the suspend menu, steams game overlay.. everything! BUT! Alt-tabbing is extremely fast, and no problems occur!
