Preloading Modules is extremely slow

I have a very small 5 step sequence that loads 2 labview VI's. The two Vi's simply open excel and then write a line of text to them.

When running the sequence (in deployment or development) the Preloading is taking almost 4 minutes! Unloading is also taking about 3 minutes at the end of the sequence.

 

I've tried various combinations of settings for when to load/unload and all seem to give me this issue (except dynamic, which is really quick, but still gives the unload issue).

 

It's worth mentioning that I've already set the search directory at the top of the list and these two Vi's are running inside a module thats called with a new thread and the call running options are to preload when execution begins and to unload when sequence file is unloaded.

 

Is there any way to optimise this, or improve it? This is the very beginning of a rather large sequence file, I'm concerned the preload time will be >15m at this rate!

Hi,

 

I've found the following article which mentions some steps for increasing code module loading time near the middle.

The steps all seem very reasonable; I'd give these a go.
