On my tests i don't see any negative results. Your results are looking weird. There's nothing to spend for preparation times. Only meshes takes time for preparation but you have one cube.
How much is your ram? You may have low ram. And can you post this test scene with your textures? I wish to see times on my computer.

Sure, I've sent you by wetrasfer the scene.
It's a very strange, but important for us, issue.
I not exclude my fault on settings, but I have a scene stored locally on my machine, so no network influence.
I have noticed also that reducing the size of the texture I have also a reduction of "preparing time" on each frame, till when I replace the tex with a color, in that case I have no difference in preparation time between 3.03 and 3.06.

Again i have repeat myself. It's not reloading textures on next frames. So there can't be a time difference related with loading images. I don't see any negative differences on my pc between versions.
How much is your ram? What's specs of your computer? Full details please. And please take Console outputs after rende completed and paster here.

I finally found why this happens. It's about the support of shading octane materials by cpu. It has been added with 3.04-R1. It's unnecessarily called in Octane rendering and caused some extra delays.
Now i've fixed the issue. Will be fine on next test release. Thanks for warning and your attention.

Thanks to you , your patience and great support.
This is one of the main reason because we have choosen Octane: constant support.

I didn't included libs300 directory. You can use it from test3 version.
