Version 1.0.0b9 plugins takes long to load on Windows

Reported on the Reaper forum:

Trond, I'm not sure why but since installing b9, I'm noticing considerable lag when opening previous projects which I created with the b7 versions of the ATK.

I'm going to try creating a new project with the b9 plugins and see if that lags upon loading too.

This is with REAPER 5.23 pre4 64 bit on Windows 10 64 bit.

Hmm... I created a new, blank project and am getting the lag when inserting any of the new encode/decode ATK b9 plugins. It isn't a huge lag but it is noticeable and seems to be cumulative the more ATK plugins I have per project. The lag for inserting a single plugin is about five seconds whereas before, it was pretty much instant.

I just reverted back to the b7 ATK and everything loads instantly again.

The only two possible explanations I can think of that can have caused are:

1. Introduction of CookDSP dependency
2. The move of library files to a new location

On OSX I don't seem to have these problems.

witti confirms that this is related to loading all of cookdsp:

Regarding the loading time of the plugins:
I found out that your plugins are using
from the cook-dsp library only these three files:

/* Math functions */
import cookdsp/mmath.jsfx-inc

/* Utility functions */
import cookdsp/memalloc.jsfx-inc
import cookdsp/scaling.jsfx-inc

Letting your plugins search ONLY for these three files
makes the loading time fast again.
