How is this minor? This bug basically makes the game unplayable.
It's definitely not performance, I bet there's a function that is not implemented that causes an unnecessary delay.
Based on your description, the game plays fine once loaded. It's annoying, but doesn't completely break the game. Or did I misunderstand the problem?
