@Sincerbox: How did your Sims behave when they moved through a door while the ToP was stil in? Mine got frozen in the middle of the walking animation for quite a while before they moved on. More exactly: The were frozen at the entry side and then again at the other side. The same can be seen when they use the stairs.
Generally spoken: they were frozen at every transition between animation phases.
In my case I didn't notice anything particular about doors or stairs any more than any other actions. Toward the end when the lag got too bad to play they would be walking to the mailbox to go somewhere as a group. One sim would take 3 steps and freeze another would take 3 steps and freeze, another sim would take a few steps and freeze. It was painful watching them all walk to the front of the lot together. And this thing was so gradual. It just seemed to get slower and slower the longer I played the game.
Loading and saving games became incredible. I think I sat there 5 minutes once thinking the game was just stuck and I was going to have to ctrl-alt-del. But I waited it out and it eventually would save or load the game.
