changedWe've also had tremendous success on internal branches with Multi-Threading our loading systems, which necessitated a major architecture change. These changes aren't live in this patch as they're being heavily tested, but they should be around in our next patch. Initial testing has shown a decrease in loading times by up to 90%, at the same time as using far less ram.
