Switching between engine versions causes long startup times

hm.
now the problem is that rapid-gui.exe only works when in engine folder and also always downloads into that folder.

and always downloads into that folder, not using the springcontent folder.

Its because you have tons of .sdd folders in your main mods/maps folders. Those really impact first load times (takes more than 5 minutes for me)
.sdd should really be a temporary thing, but its just too comfortable to keep svn's of mods there.

This solved the issue for me. I had the xta svn as a .sdd in mods directory.

Copy all dlls from engine folder to rapid folder. Launch from rapid folder.
