Which part loads super slow? There could be other things at play
there. How fast is your machine? Which platform?
It is possible with custom preferences to cause a massive CPU spike
on startup, if you forget to include the npath or nloadlib tags.

that)
I think it's related with the number of gops in the patch. I have
a kind
of small 4-voice seq utility with several gops on top of each
other, and
on xp it takes almost a minute (takes less in ubuntu)
Ha, a minute is nothing : ). I just decided to time the opening of my performance/composition suite (made up of 16 drum modules and a sequencer) and it took...
/fourteen minutes/ and 22 seconds.
Is anyone versed enough in Pd's loading sequence to explain how it can run the patch (mostly) flawlessly but take a quarter of an hour to open it? (on a 2.8g mac pro)
I'll try it with vanilla sometime when I get the energy to collect the many externals I use.

XP, 0.40.3-extended-20080603 [with custom colorscheme, but that
probably
has nothing to do with it]
For this release, there has been a lot of work in making the GUI
and
user experience much more fluid and easy. There is a new visual
look
that was designed to make patches more readable. Additionally, lots of things have been tweaked to make Pd behave more like a normal
app.
There has already been a lot of testing on these builds, so it is getting quite close to a final version. (Debian/PowerPC is missing now but will come later)
http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html
Here is a partial changelog:
- next visual appearance designed for readability (it can run
slower
on machines < 1 GHz)
- default locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc. GNU/Linux: /usr/share/pd and ~/pd Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/
Application Data/Pd
lots of standard key bindings added: Enter/Return for OK Escape for Cancel Ctrl/Cmd-W closes all windows on Mac OS X, Cmd-` cycles thru open windows on Mac OS X, Cmd-m minimizes windows Ctrl/Cmd-R raises/lowers Pd window Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R shrinks/grows Pd window Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L clears Pd window's text console Ctrl/Cmd-B opens the Help Browser
you can now use "~" in all paths to mean home folder, and on
Windows you can use environment variables, lie %UserProfile% in
paths
cut/copy/paste now work directly into text boxes on all platforms
[declare] and [import] now sorted out for loading, much work
needs
to be done before there namespace support is complete
"File -> Save As" defaults to the Home folder (~/)
fixed Cut/Copy/Paste for the Pd window's console
included pgp_opengl aka 3dp on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X
KNOWN BUGS
check http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker before reporting bugs
Escape, Enter, and Ctrl/Cmd-W don't close the Path and Startup
preferences
pdp_opengl is alpha and will definitely crash Pd
loading pdp_opengl will crash Pd if X11 is not open before trying
to load it
