Do the Iray shaders make figures and scenes load more slowly?

It seems like they do.  Is there any way to fix that?  If I apply Iray Uber to an object it loads more slowly.  Much more slowly.  It's worse when applying the Iray Genesis shader to a Genesis figure, and Beautiful Skins to a Genesis 2.  There must be a fix for this.

    I notice that if Iray shaders are applied, a scene takes longer to save, and longer than that to load.  My computer is no slouch.  I typically get a bunch of scenes ready, and use a batch rendering program.  Renders right to file.  It seems like 30 minutes from the time a render completes and the next one begins.  Iray prep time seems to be about 1-2 minutes.  I have spent a lot of time, money and effort to get my Iray renders done in a reasonable amount of time, but at this point its the loading time that's killing me.  I have searched the forum and the internet and I see nothing that addresses or even acknowledges the issue.
