My overpowered PC zones twice as slow as my Wife's hand-me-down.

So I've been playing with my wife for the last few days and noticed that her PC (with the same settings in STO) loads zones at roughly twice the speed as my PC.

Specs for my PC are:
i7 920, 6gb ram, 9800gtx video card, dual 320gb hd raid 1, windows 7 64 bit.

her PC:
c2d e8400, 4gb ram, 9800gt, some old hard drive, windows vista 64 bit.

We are both running the exact same driver versions as well.

Is windows 7 really that much slower or is something else at play here? It looks like it just sits there (no hard drive activity) and no messages about network issues.

    Your PCs aren't that far apart :)

    How are the world textures set on both?

    After I noticed the problems i set both to "Medium" or whatever the middle setting is on the automatic slider rather than customizing, effectively setting them to the same settings with no real improvement.

    Granted I haven't rebooted in a while, or really tried to troubleshoot, I will dig in further later. Was just looking to see if someone had a quick fix.

    People report setting the world textures down manually helps the loading issue in game.
