[PD] still the long load time - pd ext

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Other people are reporting this too.  It doesn't happen with my  
patches, I ran an installation a couple of weeks ago with the latest  
version and it worked fine.  Could you create a bug report and  
include a patch or collection of patches that has this problem?
