Especially "Loading Textures" and "Generating". Definitely much longer than X10. I'd say these 2 phases now take about 15 seconds or more together, and they took about 5s on X10 (both estimations). On Athlon XP2500+, XP, SP1, 1G RAM. It really takes long time now from selecting an online server till I actually get in, I'd say about 30s.. possibly more. That's much longer than X10.
