I have been experiencing lag in rollercoaster tycoon 3 in a seemingly random pattern, when i play the game and load a park, lag occurs. i havent noticed any pattern of the lag occurrences, but i have noted times when it did occur when i did something. the times are after building a new rollercoaster, in between day/night changes and when opening a new ride.

i believe that the lag is just caused by a sudden increase of cpu load while performing the activity, but im just posting to see if im missing a possible optimization technique or if theres one

specs :

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0 GHz Quad core
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 800
GPU: 2 x NVIDIA 9800 GTX+
Chipset: AMD 790FX
Motherboard: ASUS M4A79 Deluxe
Hard drive: 1 x WD VelociRaptor 10000 RPM 150 GB; 3 x WDC Black 1TB 7200 RPM; 1 x WDC Blue 640GB 7200 (640 for windows xp)
OS: Windows Vista, Windows XP (dual boot)

ps: i also use this comp for way more demanding gaming than rct3...
