Character load times

The patch notes for the most recent update said that they tried to speed up character loading by making it multi-threaded on the server side. Since that update, I have consistently had longer character load times, not shorter. True, it's often somewhat faster from the point when you get the loading screen, but now I always get a long waiting time in the phase "requesting character load", up to one full minute before the loading screen pops up. As a result, a "quick relog" to change characters is now considerably slower than before for me.
I have noticed that my guild mates seem to take a couple of minutes to relog as well now. Is it just me and my friends who have this problems, or what is your experience?

    I am having the most awful time loading in. The game is almost unplayable. I have had to just go play Witcher 3 a few times because I couldn’t log in to ESO :-(

    2 to 4min loading time instead of 30-1m

    The character load time is absolutely excruciating. It takes so long to load that every time I am convinced I am going to get kicked back to the log in screen or the game is gonna crash.

    Same here for EU early evenings (weekend in particular). Not a problem EU daytime. It's never timed out or failed but it is getting ridiculously slow. Perhaps they could update us on where the project from earlyl this year to fix the login delay problems is ?
    Too many toons not enough time
