I'm just curious, as I am happy to wait that time if it means having a version of Il-2 where I an get every mod running together without conflicts.On my rig, with UI 1.1.1 (or what was the last version before 1.2) plus some beta planes from here plus SAS buttons and planes plus some Aviaskins stuff, the initial load time was well over 5 minutes, approaching 7. That is just too much.
Even without all the extra stuff i added the standard UI 1.1 load times were quite long.
So when 4.09 came out and UI 1.2 did not support it, i switched to HSFX - which had most of the stuff i used with my bloated UI 1.1 install - the load times came down to under one minute, a huge improvement.
The old mods structure IMHO became unable to handle the size and number of mods in the latest modpacks, clearly SFS is the way to go. It does lack a little with flexibility but the improvement in load times and stability is worth it.
