Very Long Loading Times

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues
#1

Hello, I have been finding that the only issue I have with the game is the loading times. For me they will range between 45secs-1min and they noticeably get longer at the portal to xen in the Black Mesa complex. This is the only Source engine game I have had loading times worthy of being called obnoxious, even the load times of Black Mesa 2012 were super fast in comparison like 5-10sec. My computer specs are

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M
RAM: 16GB
Hardrive model: WD7500BPKX-80HPJ0
Hardrive RPM: 7200 RPM

Please help me resolve this issue as I foresee myself playing this game many many more times.

To me at least, the mod release and the earlier versions of the steam release had much longer load times than the steam release has now so i guess make sure its up to date.
