I've had the same problem with unbelievable save times.
My issue is with CC, but I'm not sure which file(s) is(are) screwed as I'm still in the process of pinpointing it(them).

I think he is correct. I just had this issue and majorly re-organized all of my content. I had converted .sims3files into .packages thinking I could bypass EA's launcher altogether. After installing them correctly and removing 1 wood pattern I found on TSR the slow loading/saving times went from 5minutes to 20seconds. I obviously cannot say for sure this is your problem but thought I'd share how I solved mine.
