Speeding up map load time

[katalyst]

Is there anything that could affect the map load time i.e when the map ends and you see the connecting to server , retrieving server info ,etc screen. (apart from custom models,sounds)

Any tips on making the process go faster would be appreciated.


(p.s: using a fast dl server)

SSDs in the host machine, schedulers for giving the srcds optimal disk-readthing.

What are the specs for the server running your game server? Is this server from a GSP?
