Stepmania loading, at least in the custom build with the current optimizations I've added, is limited by it trying to get values to write or read for the cache. I have now merged changes from 5.1, but since they are eclipsed by the aforementioned problem they don't really make any difference. There should also only be a small subset of your collection which trigger re-caching. That being said please make sure both of the following values are set in your preferences ini unless you load songs directly from the Stepmania folder you installed to.

FastLoad=1
FastLoadAdditionalSongs=1
