Improving load times

I love the game, and I would be playing it right now, but the last map I loaded crashed the game, and gave me a scary looking blue screen that reminded me of my days of win98. Thats not why im posting. I just really want to increase my loading times. When I played the mod, it would only take a min at the most. I haven't timed it but I think with Ostfront it takes over 5 min. Anything I can do to make it speed up. Thanks in advance. Also my FPS arent as hot as in the mod like many other users. I really enjoy the game though thanks TW.
 
from my understandin the precaching of audo loads all the sounds into memory b4 u join the game so ti doesnt have to do as much loading on the fly

as for video it loads all the textures into memory so it donest have to load them on the fly

turning it off makes loading times less but then ur system will have to load things "on the fly"

someone please correct me if im wrong

Ive browsed the red orchestra file and the only thing I found was

PurgeCacheDays=30
SavePath=..\Save
CachePath=../Cache
CacheExt=.uxx
CacheRecordPath=../System/*.ucl

Is this the area im supposed to alter? Should I change it to 0?

If the person above me is correct will this decrease my FPS by making my computer move on the fly?
