My post above was meant less as a gripe and more to dissuade anyone from investing time or money in researching and setting up the ramdisk. The lights, MLT, material presets and everything else should definitely come first. Thanks for the info.Following is based on my programming observations not facts about specific script so I might be wrong somewhere.
Obj is a text file. Text operations are much, much slower in general comparing to numerical or direct memory processing. The fact that these operations are carried through script multiplies the slowdown. The bottleneck is huge volume of processor-ram operations before the thing gets to actual saving. Being hard-coded as library or part of program a minute export could be done in seconds on single core, but should also require noticeably more time in programming.
Personally I'd like to see area lights and many other things first
Again, I'm not familiar with blender architecture so there might be something else.
