Yeah, a bit slower than the previous version, but it's not like we're talking 20+ minutes here, it is less time than it takes to make a cup of tea.  I do wonder how some DCS players cope with real life sometimes.

Definitely quicker than MSFS thats for sure 😆

Since the latest updates I've noticed an impressive drop in the simulator's performance, it got even slower when starting up. Also, it happened more than once that after starting up I had incredible frame drops until the mouse pointer stopped (a couple of times it even crashed).
After starting up and finally having access, especially in multiplayer you can see that it suffers a lot in loading textures etc...
I have a fairly performing PC with recent components but during use there are times when the frames drop a lot.
I hope the developers manage to optimize the situation.

I also have this (MT) very long time on initial logo loading screen. Seems OK after that although I see less loading screens than before. Possibly a bit quicker than before. I was wondering if I needed to let saved games regen. 

honestly IMO something has changed. i do not believe it has anything to do with the saved games unless mods and scripts are involved. i would let it regen. find something to do for 3 minutes while it loads.

the following are my timestamps

i agree, ingame it seems the same as before(maybe even faster) as you say, im just refering to the initial startup of dcs

Same here. Especially the moment when the 100% progress bar has finished and the main menu should become visible. This step never took a noticeable time, but now I am on 15 seconds or so ...
Also, the time after the module authentication up to the progress bar is much longer ...

Seeing this too, the exit is also considerably longer than before the patch. I suspect the changelog doesn't tell the whole story charge wise.
