slow loading samples

CB 10 latest, imac pro 8 core OS 10.14
When using Kontakt in CB the samples for instruments load very slowly. NI problem? Well when I run the same instruments in Kontakt stand alone, the samples load normally. Any thoughts?

OK here’s what I did: had instruments installed on Samsung SSD Ex fat. moved eberything, re formatted as mac journaled, and that seems to have fixed it…

Same problem here… It’s not your system. I tried Cubase Pro 9.5 and the samples load more or less normally…
