Base Game's Poor loading times with mods

[ZazaFi]

i've recently noticed that since the 0.7.x patches have released. the game gets seriously bad loading. getting worse the more mods that are loaded. not just for the preload. but for loading stuff like freeplay, the character select menu and the story menu.
despite these things loading times being not nearly as bad with more mods.
having one mod in 0.7.x era loads slower than having 10 active in 0.6.x era.
what happened to cause this serious drop in performance?

There was a change to Polymod – the game's modding framework – that introduced a bug to how assets overall are loaded, which caused that issue. Fortunately it has been fixed and is going to be in the 0.7.4 patch.
