Now for the not so good news. ....
I think I'll try an unmodded game and test.
I loaded a 280 turn game that was not modded, and it took less than 2 minutes. The context switch count was high, slightly less than earlier tests.
I played a full standard/standard unmodded game, context switches were very high, turn updates were not too long, and test loads were two minutes or less.
Conclusion: context switches themselves are not the issue with long load times.
