Hi Matthew,

I watched your video and that does seem ridiculous.  I've never seen CAVE take 
that long before.  I assume
you've started it more than once (this was not your first time)?  Upon initial 
install and the first time
running CAVE it can take a **bit** longer because it's populating a local cache 
(known as caveData) that 
it doesn't have to do on subsequent runs, which makes them faster.
I sort of feel like maybe your connection is being throttled.  Could you 
possibly run a speed test before,
and during running CAVE?  Just go to Google or Bing (probably any search engine 
of your choice) in your 
browser and type in "speed test" and run the speed test.  Maybe run this a few 
times and make note of the
upload and download speeds before you have CAVE running at all, and then a few 
times while you start up
CAVE again?

Let me know what kind of numbers you're seeing.
The only other thing I can suggest right now, and I have no idea if it will 
help or not, but there is an
alternate Windows option, by running a Linux VM. The instructions are on our 
install page if you'd be 
interested in running that version to see if there's any noticeable difference 
(have to scroll down to
Method 2):

Again, my apologies for this behavior.  Hope we can help get it ironed out.
Thanks.
