Just a general curiosity, right now, but is extracting your .bsa files a good idea, or a bad idea? Back on Oblivion, I always had them extracted and never seemed to have any issues; but with Skyrim, it "seems" like my load times increase with them extracted?
Reading around, I've seen a few mixed views: some saying it should actually speed up the loading, although only a minor amount; and others saying it actually impacted performance, although for them they said it was stuttering during gameplay, not their actual load times...
So, anyone have any thoughts on this?
