slow af loading screen

[Kiwis]

My loading screen is extremely slow,
- only some characters (no particular trend I can find)
- takes about 7-10 seconds to fully load
- on occasions, the loading screen will turn pale, and client stops responding but it always goes through anyway.
- loading screen started being slow about around when snow prontera got implemented (not sure if theres a correlation)
** (My laptop doesn't experience any general processing problems, only heRO)

Any tech savvies, GMs, or people who have experienced this...?
