DayZSA Hardcore Mode Character takes over 5-8 times longer to load-in once I'm on my character than it takes my more fully equipped Normal Mode Character. Sometimes, my session crashes and I'm disconnected. Sadly, on some occasions I notice that I may have actually crashed the server I'm joining.

To compare, my Normal Mode Character loads-in consistently quick in the current Stable Branch. My Normal Mode Character has a lot more inventory items, but they generally have the same equipment load-out. {F31002}
