That's my wish too. I've already changed the roster and the DefSide.cfg, only keeping nations actively involved in the war. This requires to check the campaign files to remove all units from undesired nations.... The size of the campaign files are directly linked to the time of a patrol/mission loading.
It would be also a good idea to assign specific files to specific war theatres. For example, if you're playing patrols in the Atlantic, it's useless to have ships scripted in the Mediterranean, and vice-versa. There are perl scripts to adjust campaign files (made by LGN1 IIRC).
Also, the files in the Library and Textures folders should be kept at minimum size as possible.
For more memory space, it's also possible to totally disable the interior view (side effect : no more orders are heard).
In the end, the idea is to only keep the best for a stable and well made game, a kind of improved vanilla. Then, why not add mods to it, depending on your tastes and where you are playing (Mid-Atlantic, Arctic, Med) and when (Happy time, Drumbeat, 1943 new campaign... like the SH5 system), thanks to a modular mods system...
