[1.3] Ridiculous loading time

Hello! Currently helping test the most recent 1.3 nightly build, (and some a couple revisions before as well)
Code: Select all
Build revision:
--------------------------
commit d51371c1bee6d52ac8eac278b69a10a92fa61615
Author: DarkGod <darkgod@net-core.org>
Date: Wed Dec 31 17:54:01 2014 +0100
T-Engine changes since last build:
--------------------------
New UI option to display a grid of lines over the map to better see tiles
and I've experienced a MASSIVE increase in load time when choosing to make a new character from the main menu (or from an addon, just going to that screen seems to take forever.) A whooping 39 seconds from the main menu to the character creation screen as opposed to ~8 on 1.2.5, even with all addons turned off (except vault/stone warden.)
Specs:

Pretty sure we have people on worse machines testing it. I'd be curious if any of them have experienced similar.

Enable debug mode, if it's way faster it means it's the md5suming that's eating you alive

Also try alt-tabbing, and seeing if it loads faster when not displayed.

Same thing here. Even with debug mode it takes about half a minute to load.

I'm usually alt-tabbed when loading, tried both tabbed and non-tabbed and it didn't make a difference, but...

...this seems to have worked. Loading time cut back to normal (maybe even slightly faster) when I activated dev mode, so I'm guessing your assumption is right!

Has the way the checksums are handled changed in the dev build?

Tried both windows builds (music and not) and they both load perfectly fine
