EB loading time?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Sorry but from a nasty CTD experience with the internal build (one or two version before 1.0) I learned that script, traits, building code and all other stuff which isn't really used until campaign time is loaded into cache anyway.

Or at least, if there is an error within the script your mod will still CTD before even reaching the main menu. Same for the traits & ancilliaries files. Same for the recruitment code. (Which incidentally is not just big, but insanely vast and hughe.)

When the game initially loads, it reads all of the game files (which I know, because I have had many a crash at opening due to a tiny typo in one of these files). EB's game files are huge compared to vanilla. For an example, these are the...

export_descr_buildings:
Vanilla: 136,984 bytes
EB: 12,761,782 bytes

export_descr_character_traits:
Vanilla: 257,054 bytes
EB: 6,802,935 bytes

export_model_battle:
Vanilla: 189,717 bytes
EB: 691,852 bytes

I can´t believe how many oppurtunites to brag about my computer presents themselves to me here, this must be like the 5th time this week.
My loading times take about 5 seconds!! Wohoo!!!!
I could post my specs, but unless there´s a public uproar I believe I`ll just keep them to myself, those numbers doesn´t mean to much to me anyway, it´s the result that counts.
