Have tried all of that, without results. Just an FYI. Stumbled upon a solution (that works for me, and possibly others). Tried to run plug-in today and again took 6.5 minutes to load. I found this work around accidently while using the History log, and works consistently. I know that it sounds ridiculous, but if I start the plug-in and then go to the History Brush Log and delete the entry marked "open", the second the entry hits the garbage can in the History Log, the plugin loads. I have done this consistently, restarting PS every time prior. But, if you open PS and delete the "open" entry prior to activating the plug-in, it doesn't give the same result. The plugin still sits a long time before loading. Go figure. The plugin must be open prior to doing this, with the msg "loading actions" showing. Any other state will not work. THEN delete the "open" entry. Hope this works for anyone else experiencing the same issue.
