It's monster of a game requiring huge amounts of RAM and processing power as well as space. If you love the game and have the ram and processor but still have issues it might be your graphics accelerator.
I'd rather they delay if they found an issue with the game than release it anyway. I got the Sims 2 when it first came out and the jump bug that developed for everyone after a certain point in playing was ridiculous and made the game pretty much unplayable. I'm wary of the same sort of thing happening with Sims 3... some bug EA doesn't catch. So if the delay is so they can test it more, I'm okay with that. If it's just for marketing's sake and the product won't be any better for it, then boo.

..caused Sims2 does it constantly. And I have quite a bit of free space on my hard drive and always a lot of virtual memory.
