Why does the new Tekkit take so much longer to load?

[Kommunističeskiĭ]

Both server and client take more than twice as long to load as both Tekkit Classic and Tekkit Lite. Is there a logical explanation to this other than modded Minecraft generally being a huge mess of software mashed together?

Just wondering.

More mods = Longer load times

I have a 63 mod custom pack, takes about a minute or 2 to load up and as just as long to clear the world load

Yeah, it takes me like 4 minutes to load tekkit up.

I'm pretty sure the number of mods isn't the only factor here. Tekkit lite has more mods, but yet loads WAY faster.

I expect that things like Galiticraft add a lot of resources which chew up loading time.

The technical explanation is that it takes more time to jam all that awesome into the pack for you.

Cam said something about why awhile back. I think it had to do with MPS.
