its not that it takes a minute. its the fact that loading it takes more and more time for no aparent reason. I was loading the same model, it wasn't higher quallity. Look at the timings. it takes 20 ms loading the materials the first time, over a minute the second and over 2 minutes the 3rd time. I tried using material preset and it does the same thing. it hangs for minutes at end for no apparent reason. if i just go and load a character asset made by someone else it takes like 30-1 minute regardless of how many characters there are in the scene.A minute or so is completely normal.
It'll only get longer as the models get higher quality, unless Daz decides to rebuild the software foundationally. Even with a faster computer. It's usually the character being loaded with all the morphs and such. I believe there are some plugins/scripts/etc. that can take care of this. Other things can be causing this as well, some of the Inked Tattoo assets cause quite long loading times, for one reason another. Couldn't tell you why.
As for saving characters as a scene subset, I personally find that quite inefficient, but that's totally subjective. Try saving your character and his/her clothes as their respective presets (File > Save As > Character Preset and File > Save As > Wearables Preset, respectively.). My speeds seem a bit faster doing it that way, but that's completely circumstantial.
loading a scene with an environment and 7 characters took me 6m 8.473s or about as much as it takes to load 3 individual characters.
