It's normal for EPs to strain your computer more than the base game does. If you post specs, you can get more advice, but I have a feeling you'll either have to live with the loading time or uninstall an EP if you have good backups.

256mb ram is very very low these days. You dont have a whole lot of custom content, but even so, you'd be hard pushed to run anything decently.

Your computer does not meet the minimum requirements for Freetime: http://thesims2.ea.com/help/detail.php?help_id=342

-Minimum- is 512 MB. I'd recommend no less than 1 gig, even without Vista, for decent performance.

Depends on whether your Motherboard can handle it or not. Mine has only two slots and the max Ram I can have is 2Gig. (note to self, get a better computer )

Yes - ideally you'd want to replace them with at least two 512Meg sticks, preferably more.
