You see, with my old machines running older systems, I can load externals just fine, but at some point, I don't know why, it takes a lot of time to load them for the first time.

I just timed this now with my recent ELSE upload to deken. And when we download it from deken now I automatically open a readme file that loads all objects, which forces us to wait until all externals are loaded, and it took about 2 minutes to load in my M3 mac. Almost 2:30 minutes in an older intel running Monterey.

I know I'm not codesigning or anything, just building and uploading to deken.

So, can I do anything about it at all? Or just tell people to deal with it for the first time?

thanks
