I was just wondering how sure the ootp/si team was that, if they are sure at all, that the news ticker was causing a slow down.

I'm running ootp '06 on a pentium 4, 3GHz, 508MB of RAM. So it's above the minimum specs and just a little bit shy on the RAM for the recomended.

The game sims fine and I have no problems there but once that news ticker comes up it starts chugging like no tommorow. Eventually it get so bad I restart the game and it works quickly again for about another 2 hours. Mostly i guess I'm asking what will the option to remove the ticker really do? Will it help in this area or must I do something else to speed this up?
