Game progressively takes longer to load?

I've been doing a British WC game, and obviously that's going to have a lot of lag in the 1910s. However, I noticed that, even when I load the game, before I bring up a save game, the time has gotten longer and longer. Is this because I have so many savegames, each of which has a ton of information? If so, will I be able to reduce the loading time by deleting some of my savegames?

I suppose it is due to higher unit numbers (land and sea units).

I mean when I open the game itself, before I click on the save game I want to resume. In theory, that just means that it has to load the base game files in addition to the savegames.

More data is created through the course of the game. Longer data means longer load times as opposed to opening a regular default game where everything is the same.

Would the load time between starting the loader and getting to the menu where I click "Single Player" decrease if I deleted most of my savegames?

Probably, yes. I think the game has to go through every save first to find the correct label.
Reminds me of my old Warcraft 3 custom maps collection that required 30 sec to load at some point. *g*
