Well, downloaded, installed and tested for 30 min. Good news and bad news.
My problems were a laggy AI turn and generally problems with loading the quicksave.

Good news first: I was able to finish the AI turn in 2D with performance settings really low. (The stuff I posted
in the link above.) Game loaded really fast; I was impressed. During the AI turn, the AI worked differently and attacked
from different angles. The turn finished; I was back in control. The AI was still pretty slow and took 2-4 min; but it finished.
Then it was my turn. I switched on the details to enjoy your creation (love it still). Everything went smoothly (on a technical level, let's just not talk about
my performance in Leyte).
Then the AI turn, this time with full details (3d map, all effects etc.). The AI turn was slow (and crushingly efficient, damn those slit-eyed bastards. Sorry.), but it worked. The bar "thinking, executing actions" slowly filled up and then the AI turn finished. But the game stayed there, the tab with my mission objectives did not appear. (And still has not, I have it tabbed.) The game somewhat froze at the end of the AI turn. I can move around and look at things, the AI is apparently done - but I can't start my turn.
Well, I will try over the weekend to set it to 2D and see whether it finishes with minimum details. But those are my first impressions. You guys have obviously solved some problems, but there are still some kinks there. I would be blaming my computer, but I don't believe the AI is so sophisticated that it churns through 4gigs of RAM just like that. (If it is, tell me.) I will post the results here.
On a side note - Leyte is freaking hard. Might have to restart alltogether - I am playing on the hardest difficulty. I am a Panzercorps Veteran, finished on Fieldmarshal, Afrikakorps and Allied Corps as well. Either I have lost my edge or the US campaign is outlandishly hard.
