I've recently begun partying with some people in my FC to do some treasure maps, and it has come to my attention that 30 second load times are not the norm. I've since measured my load times starting the game and teleporting to other areas, and I have a 50 second wait when I first enter the game, and 32 second waits when I teleport. My system, as read by the old benchmark, is:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
8139.277MB
AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series(VRAM 4095 MB) 8.17.0010.1230

My HDD has 7200rpm with a 6gb/s transfer rate. It seems like I exceed the recommended system requirements, so I don't understand why my load times are so much more than other people's. Does anybody have any insight into why this is?
