Loading times so much longer in fullscreen...

...than windowed mode. Why is this?

 

I would just use windowed mode, but when I do the game randomly decides to either run at at a slideshow despite it running fine windowed at other times, or have these small pauses every now and then.

You could start by telling us your system specifications.

Are you using any mods?

Try tuning off vsync.

^ hell yes if you are using vsync, get in habbit of turning it off in game settings before you load into the game world then just open game settings and turn it back on after you're in. Don't use the NVCP / CCC for enable vsync because then you won't be able to do this.

 

I discovered this issue probably within 2 hours of owning the game so long ago. I was like "what in the FFFF is going on!" and during experiments as soon as I turned off vsync the game world loaded in a couple seconds. I assume it's a core issue with the way the game engine works because it has never been fixed in any patch from the begining to now. If vsync is enabled when you load into the game world the engine appears to be throttling its initialization based on the sync instead of it simply being a wide-open fast as possible initialization (as seen when vsync is off).
