bloodmoon does have a higher performance hit on your processoir than the original morrowind did which is kind of obvious considering it has to load the morrowind map (and optionally the tribunal map as well) and then the bloodmoon map.

and considering you can only do a full install and that the cdrom itself is only used to play the bethesda movies etc..so the nocd crack aint gonna give you much of a performance boost if any

the increased fps for morrowind using the crack did speed it up but that was because the original morrowind was safedisc2 protected and the safedisc2 api wrapper took a lot of processing power away from the game, so using the crack sped it up, kinda how a cracked exe will usually result in a faster game compared to a protected exe, however in bloodmoon there was no protection so such a performance gain will not happen, and obviously the old crack wont work, by using the old crack you more or less downgrade your version.. not a good idea

original morrowind - safedisc protected and additional cdcheck ingame

tribunal - no protection (apart from simple cdcheck), morrowind.exe updated

bloodmoon - no protection (apart from a simple cdcheck), morrowind.exe updated

in all 3, only the videos are loaded from the cdrom, and by that i mean the intro movie... hope that clears things up
