Have you optimized your texture library with CorrectReference? This problem of loading textures and objects shouldn't take more than 10 minutes max for a 75MB file, more likely about five. CorrectReference is a free utility here which you run against each of your library items requiring a text file (CR2, HR2, PP2 and Mat Poses). You tell it which directory you have your text files in (usually the textures dir) and it will find each of the text files and rewrite location in an optimal fashion ... usually truncating the address to below runtime. You would be surprised how many downloaded files have drives other than C, listed and many still reference Metacreations and Poser4. Poser5 runs like a rabbit when the files are optimized ... and drags like an anchor when they are not.
