I guess the reason for the long first time load is because it has to generate the random maps, and that takes time. Even with proper algorythms and limitations, it still takes some time for the computer to create a bug-free map.
Fortunately the maps are saved, so next time it's faster.
Anyway, glad I could help <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
