you could try converting it to .X, it might speed it up.

But you are not alone, every (commercial) game has loading times. But commercial games have those fancy loading screens.

just offset the time a little by making a loading screen, and make a box get longer and longer as it goes. it only slows down the loading time by .001% (i tested this using a timer() command, it's true on a pentium 4)
