KSPedia alone accounts for half of load time
Description
I've started noticing a large delay in loading when the bar is about half full, when it's loading "Asset Bundles". These bundles are actually .ksp files, most of which are in the GameData/Squad/KSPedia folder.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch KSP
2. Observe load time, and delay at halfway point
3. Close the game
4. Move GameData/Squad/KSPedia folder somewhere outside of GameData
5. Launch KSP again
6. Delay at halfway point is now gone
For me, loading KSPedia files accounts for about 6 seconds of load time. This obviously varies from person to person, but my machine is decent (i5 @ 3.4GHz, SSD) and thus it'll be far worse for players on weaker machines or even laptops.

I can reproduce this delay.
Without the KSPedia folder, KSP starts in approx 60s.
With the KSPedia folder, KSP starts in 90s, with a delay of 30s in the middle, while the text "Loading Asset Bundle Definitions" is displayed.
My setup:
Platform: Linux Mint
CPU: i5-6200U, 15W Dualcore 2.3GHz with HT
Storage: SSD
A little performance optimization for the loading screen would be nice, but should not be the highest priority to the developers.

Game load time with and without the KSPedia folder seems to be exactly the same. Loading time in general has improved (decreased). Build 2803.
