Why does the Kingdoms of Amalur take so long to load

kingdoms-amalur-reckoningpc

I recently installed a fresh copy of Kingdoms of Amalur on my i7-2600k, 16 gb Win 7 Pro machine through Steam.

After looking through the settings I hit new game and was able to preview almost every game clue before I gave up trying to get the game to do something other than "Loading"

My ATI drivers are up to date and KoA is installed to my SSD.

The game menus are fairly responsive and I don't see any hints why this might happen.

Any thoughts?

Go the the graphics settings and turn off vsync.

For some reason, possibly a bug, this setting can cause the game to have long load times. It seems that SSD installations are particularly susceptible.
