Massive hanging after starting game, servers and SP

[Archer6621]

Whenever I start the game and it is done with loading, everything hangs for about 2 minutes on the "Spawn menu" thing. After the massive hang everything is fine. It had been doing this lately for me both with release builds and dev builds.

Anybody got a clue of what's going on?

Specs:
i5 650 @3,2ghz
Sapphire HD6870 with 1 Gb VRAM
12Gb RAM memory
Samsung SSD 128Gb
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with Java x64

I don't think it's related to my specs tbh, and all drivers are up to date so far.

The hanging is frustrating, especially if I want to quickly test something that I've altered.

I am pretty sure this is to load in objects before the player spawns to reduce lag while actually playing the game. I got notification similar to the auto save one in the corner stating this. That being said if I click anywhere on the screen while this happens it freezes entirely and I have to restart. This only happens once in a while though for some reason.

It only happens before the first spawn, right after when I start the game. Future spawns always seem to occur almost instantly.
