I have now played 2 more game hours into it and have saved 4 times during that play. My save file just went back over 12mb.
When I first cleared up with the wait, the town lag was noticably less, in fact gone really. I was pretty happy about that, even surprised a little. However, the stuttering is already starting back up in town and in battles. I knew this was going to happen so I am not really upset by it, but thought I would let people know, since I have talked about it previously.
Hope you are able to continue to play through the lag problems by doing the things that keep your game memory clear as possible.
Edit, sorry about the title.. need sleep.
