I think that there has been a functional regression in a recent build,
relating to placing symbols in eeschema.

Previously, the libraries were loaded once when the schematic was opened.

now, the entire symbol library set is re-loaded every time you select
"Place Symbol". This brings up the "loading symbol libraries" progress
dialog before opening the component selector window.

This is very tedious - especially on Windows where loading symbols can be
an order of magnitude slower than linux. It really interrupts work flow.

I do not imagine this is intended behaviour? Can anyone comment on this?
