I think there's been a recent Win8.1 or Nvidia driver update that's causing me to have slow first time BIOS boots after launching the emulator.
Trying to boot my BIOS for the first time after launching hangs the emulator for a good 20 seconds, but eventually boots it. Emulator works as it should after that, even if I swap ISOs.
I've set my AV to ignore all folders associated with PCSX2. I get slow BIOS boots with builds that I know have been snappy in the past. I've tried clean installs with both old and new builds.
I'm interested to know if there's anyone else who's experiencing this weirdness.
Either Microsoft published a problematic update, or my CPU is on its way out...
Edit: Based on console input, the hang seems happen when the emulator should start loading plugins, since it's the first entry after the it recovers.
