Try copying the entire RO folder to another location(preferably another logical drive) and running it from there(there is no need to re install; shortcuts will need to be replaced). If the problem ceases after this you probably need to run chkdisk on the drive as drive errors(caused by faulty shutdowns and a vast list of mundane things) could result in such a hang.

What operating system do you use?
Does yr PC experience such lag in any other context?
If not and RO continues to hang after the move then you may need a fresh install.. but..

You could also try defragmenting yr drive as this can result in considerable improvement in performance and is especially important if you've never run it before. Also if yr drive has less then 15% free it will give reduced performance which may exhibit itself by hanging when forced with processing large amounts of data. Defragmenting could help you here too. Lemme know if you need details on how to do that. It's a moderately long procedure during which yr OS will move peices of files on yr HDD so that they are physically adjacent on the drive; resulting in much faster read time..
