Is anyone else seeing excessive character load times?

I'm talking about from the character selection screen - once you click play to the time the game actually loads and you're in the world and able to move. What use to take 10 to 20 seconds has literally turned into minutes! Muling has become a time sink. It takes me 20+ minutes for what should take 5.
This seems to be getting worse since the launch. My system is no slouch i7, 16gb RAM, crossfire 6950's, SDDs etc. I've heavily monitored resources to see what is going on and I cannot explain it. The game is not excessive reading/writing to disk, its not excessively using CPU or memory and it's certainly not asking for a lot of network (Internet) bandwidth. Which leads me to believe the issue lies server side.
Last night I decided to time it and it took nearly two minutes to login to the game. Anyone else having a similar issue? If so can we please get this looked at?

AlienOnPc✭✭yeah i got it when i started up this morning euro server think its since the patchWith great power there must also come — great responsibility !1 -
Falmer✭✭✭✭Sometimes after a big patch my character load will take a couple mins the very first time I log in.
However, since inventory management/crafting requires me to login several different characters quite often.. this quickly drops to a dozen seconds or so.
It probably has to do with either how the files are cached in our systems or what the load is on the login server. If the servers just come up there are hundreds of thousand of login requests on the login server and they take time to process.1 -
mndfreeze✭✭✭I have been seeing problems before I load into the character selection screen since the patch. Sometimes I start the game and it loads right to my character list pretty quick, other times it has taken up to about a minute to a minute and a half before finally loading my character selection list. From that point forward however the loading times are always fast.
I also have a fast machine and my OS and game installed on an SSD. Never had an issue like this until this latest patch.1
