REAPER loads the fastest for me. Nuendo can be comparatively sluggish on large projects with large numbers of plugins but I found using VSL Vienna Ensemble Pro could improve things drastically.

tbh I think Bitwig is pretty quick already. Load times are fine and the time to enable plugs in isn't bad either.
I often have multiple projects open and just jump between them.

You could test it:
Create the smallest possible project that is loading slow. Measure loading time.
Do the same in Reaper. Or any other DAW.
Numbers should speak clearly.

ABX is enemy to GAS

So, If I read this correctly, you have 64gb that gets used up, or is at 100%.
This is the likely problem, as your ram has to go into swap.
Do a track reduction until you get it so that the RAM is not maxed out, and see how long it takes to load. I'm guessing your load time will drastically improve.
If this fixes your problem, you'll need to go back into the tracks to see what's eating so much RAM.

I have a really fast computer, some good mics, vintage musical instruments, and lots of fancy software. Just need some talent
