I can agree with this... I tried to speed it up and moved my savegame dir to SSD but this didnt help...

Are you alt-tabbing, especially during loading screens? It may be observation bias, but I've noticed that the game doesn't seem to do all to well with alt-tabbing while in fullscreen mode, so I've resorted to borderless fullscreen with pretty nice success so far.

I know when I was messing about with the game I would minimize it. Even if it increases the time some it was still worth doing.

Yeah, we are planning to look into this at some point, probably for the next major build.

Thanks for the response.  No, after it became enough of a bother, I stayed on the game and let the load screen take whatever time it wanted.  However, I've found that doing an alt-tab to another program certainly decreases my boredom and doesn't seem to bother the game.  It's all loaded up when I switch back a few minutes later.
