SOme people don't have this issue with firefly. Also not all obj files are fragmented. I purpsoely framented a few different types. I also downloaded a few freebies and tested those as well.
It can be a figure or a prop or an imported obj. Basically it is just about some people having a hang on the firefly calculation that reads the materials from the mesh on rendering.
This particular issue has a very specific symptom being a long hang on the "adding objects" status bar. using a script or utility for defragmenting the obj g/usemtle lines is really just another thing people should do during content creation, like adding a white backdrop to a texture, etc. It just gets added to the list of things to check for when building a product.
