The worst single offender is "Loading script", second worst is "save slot metadata". What can I do to get more information about what to fix?
There are 85 total .rpy files. The largest is 650 kB, and then there are several in the 200 kB range. Would it help to split them up? Is there any way to mark things to delay parsing?

Tom has said that multiple smaller scripts load faster than a long one, so splitting them up probably would help.
I'll also wait here for more ways to reduce loading time because my game is huge and loads even longer lol!
