Currently I'm working on a fairly large Kontakt library, over 5 GB of samples. Everytime I load a patch it takes nearly half a minute to load. How do it decrease the loading time?

Re-Save the nki file and make sure its not in sampler mode :P

Is it loading from a conventional drive? Off the top of your head, I don't remember if you have a SSD or not.

Buy an SSD, hook it up inside of your PC and dump all of your Kontakt Libraries on there.
Worked for me when I had a similar issue about a year and a half ago.

It also helps with the size of the samples the instrument patch is loading, and as 5gb is a very big amount for 1 nki file... Make sure you cut off all the silence on the end of the samples to make the size go down...
I done it with my Flute library and it dramatically decreased in size from 3gb to 1.8gb...

If I don't use round robin samples the size goes down to around 1 GB...
Also, what is Batch Save?

Batch save is just re-checking and making sure the samples are there? xD I think..
Hmm, I guess all the round robin is very good so I would not get rid of them, the only way I could think is to open the Kontakt standalone up and use the external wave editor (whatever one you have) and get rid of the silence of every sample at the end (if there is :( )
