UI mod 1.11 with not much else other than a TON of paint schemes and co-op missions.
I haven't timed it, but I did notice that when I first installed 1.11 it did seem very slow to load. At that time I had an AMD 4800+ dual core processor. I have since swapped it for a Phemom II 940 quad core. Everything else in the system is the same, it was just a drop-in upgrafe.
Now it seems to load as fast as the un-modded versions did. I think that 2 things helped that. First, the faster processor. Second, I have Vista 64 bit w/8GB of RAM, and I think that Vista's superfetch is preloading a good bit, if not all of it into memory so that it doesn't have to go to the HDD and copy it in.
