If you are confident that you aren't going to be adding songs for a while, just enable Fast Load in your Stepmania options.

Temporarily move some songs to a different folder so you reduce the number of files SM has to load.

Get more RAM for your computer.
My SM used to take forever to load SM even with fast load enabled because it was running off of 512MB of RAM in the past, rofl. Then soon after upgrading to 2GB, it loads in a breeze.

That does help--the more your computer can process, obviously the faster it will load.

I don't care who you are or what rainy day you're saving your files for. Nobody I've ever known who has had as many (or more) files as you actually played more than a fraction of them. No need to enable fast load, no need for more RAM. If you're really adamant about keeping that many files for goodness knows why, if you run Windows, defrag. I'm willing to bet that having that many files has led to a multitude of them becoming fragmented and thus wasting time searching your HDD for it.
