I see. I have the game and studio on an HDD myself (although modern, like 1 year old I think, almost the cheapest 1TB I could find).Sry, overlooked your question
My experience belongs to my old Desktop with only 4 GB DDR2 and the game on a HDD. FPS was playable (40-50), but the loading time was disastrous. Starting the game, open character groups, open Charmaker, start a H-Scene - always enough time to go for a beer or to toilet.
Then added a SATA SSD and installed the game on it the loading times excelerated significantly, nearly as fast as on my gaming laptop.
FPS increase less 10%.
It does take around 1 full minute to load a big scene (I'm talking about the scene you can find marked as a Map in the post that is linked to my sig if you want a quick look for scale - everything is an object and not actually part of a map) starting from the desktop.
Once it's loaded in everything sticks to around 30fps depending on the direction I'm looking in the map.
The scene by itself probably takes 20 seconds out of that minute to load.
For any normal scene that doesn't have hundreds (or thousands?) of objects in it, the load time is around 5 seconds though.
I think part of your issue was that DDR2 ram as well XD
