hrm, it's going to be difficult to isolate the problem if this is indeed the case.

If I remember correctly, my load times on save games didn't balloon until I ventured into the Mojave. I don't know if that helps at all, I just wanted to let you know. I'll check my backup save files later to be sure. Since I use the ForceSave mod I can go back and check at any point during my playthrough. :)
EDIT: Scratch all that. :)
I just checked a save when I was in Paradise Falls, 52 hours in. The load took 1:52.8. Just shy of 2 minutes is a far cry from the 5 minute times I'm getting now, but it's obvious the ballooning was taking place before I went to the Mojave.
