Slow NPC Load times on iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012)

Hi, in certain dungeons if I run in or enter before everything loads there are a lot of invisible NPCs attacking me but I can't attack them unless I do area affect spells until they load and I can target them. This is problematic in some instances like vBC, vCOH, vWGT, vMA when group wants to do YOLO and run in and attack stuff.
This is especially problematic for me in that in vMA when loading from saved stages it puts me in the stage / arena stage and starts it before I can see them, thus I'm getting mobbed and can't kill stuff and start every stage out overwhelmed which means it's much harder to complete them.
In Grahtwood near pledges and tree it takes very long for npc and players to load and results in 2 load screens when running from way shrine to pledges area.
Is there something I can do on my end to speed up these load time?
I read that I can upgrade to 16GB RAM, but seems like this shouldn't really be an issue, haven't run into this problem until last month or 2 now.
I went through this thread, and implemented those suggestions, but still have this slow npc load time issue:

✭✭Hi @Nindail,
some questions:
Does this issue persist if you set the Graphics Quality setting down to Low?
Assuming your iMac uses a magnetic HDD, do you hear higher activity, like seeking noises, from it when NPCs are still invisible?
What ranges of latency numbers do you see in such occasions on the in-game UI display? Do they get unusually high?
How is your Mac connected to your router? Over WiFi, or wired with a CAT5/5e/6 network cable?
What kind of internet connection do you use at home? Is it perhaps a mobile broadband connection, e.g. over LTE, or a hybrid one (DSL/cable combined with satellite/LTE)? What is your maximum effective downstream bandwidth? Are other persons using the same connection while you're playing?
What country are you in and on which server do you play?
Barring that you run a lot of other stuff in the background that needs a lot of memory while playing, 8 GB should be fine.
