Incredibly long loading times after death.

I don't know if this is related to my system but the loading times, particularly when reloading into my hideout after death have become insanely long since somewhere during keepers league. I am The only one having this ?
Taking a portal out of a map can take me 10-15 seconds (still a lot more than it used to) but reloading after a death can sometimes take up to over TWO MINUTES.
Yes the game is installed on an SSD, no I haven't updated my graphics driver since poe 2's 0.4 or cleared my shader cache since mid Keeper. (I'll do it and report if I see any difference)

Loading times in player populated areas have been pretty long since circa Sanctum league, but extremely long loadings after death is a new thing for me since Keepers.

Is anyone else experiencing this ?

Post your specs for GGG but there have been loading issues for some players. I could guess based on my experience: it's a tier 16.5 map issue.
