Patch 3339, game startup slower (it seems)

After loading the latest patch, I've noticed that the initial start-up time
has increased dramatically. Not the startup for the game, but rather at the
point where the generic backround/image shows up with a random tip and the
name of the map. (i.e., immediately after the "connecting..." screen)
Previously, this would show for *at most* 5 seconds, now it seems to be there
for *at least* 6 seconds, and as long as 10-15 -- long enough that when I
actually "materialize" on the playfield, most if not all of the other players
are seen already leaving the spawn area. I'm curious as to whether this is
an aspect of the patch itself (does it affect windows users the same way?) or
something specific to linux and/or 64-bit systems?
