A workaround for Mass Effect 2 players that fixes extremely long load times stemming from dual core issues has been released and is available now for download.
The majority of the loading issues take place between decks of the Normandy; some have figured out that the problems have to do with the game's processor affinity. When set to one core and then back to two cores the issues clear up, but this either forces players to address the situation manually every time they play, or have impeded performance elsewhere in the title.
Thus the Mass Affinity application was created to automatically handle the issue as long as its incorporated with your copy of ME2. The file is available for download now via Playwrite, from the description:
I caught wind of the fact Mass Effect 2 was causing PC users with dual-cores some grief, in the form of extremely long load times going between decks of the Normandy. Which is odd, as venturing into an entirely new planet loaded just dandy.
More than a few smart people figured out it had to do with the game’s processor affinity. Simply setting it to one core and then back to two cores fixed the problem. But having to do this every time you play ME2 sounds like a chore we could easily do without.
Hence, I coded up MassAffinity, a tiny app that takes the hard work out of it. Just place the app on your desktop (or somewhere else convenient), run it, select your ME2 directory, and hit “Run game”. After that, every time you double-click the MassAffinity app, it’ll automatically start ME2 and fix the issue.
No doubt this bug will get patched eventually, but for now, this should do the job. It should be noted this problem doesn’t affect everyone – it seems to be isolated to people running a certain combination of CPU and operating system. So, if you’re not experiencing long load times between decks, then this program is not for you.

Worked like a charm. Very nice find. Used to take like 30-40 seconds to load a save. Now it loads in like 10.
I don't understand why I had great load times originally, 3-10 seconds, but only recently it has ballooned. Nothing was changed except DLC packs. :(
