There is option - use texture cache. If it is set to on - after the second run of TA3D with the same mod/units settings - game loading speed is greatly improves. I`ve got nearly 25 sec. to load full set of TA CC units in TA3D.

beware that texture cache is disabled with ATI cards. But there is a cache that is used to speed up HPI archive decompression, so the first time you run your mod, it builds the cache which takes some time, then the next time you load a game it'll only read the cache which is much faster. Also it stores the TA3D version that builds the cache in order to prevent conflicts between various version after an update (so when you update the game you it'll rebuild the cache the first time you run it).

It should be possible to optimize things to load the game even faster, but this requires gathering precise statistics on the loading process and then focus on bottlenecks.
