How is it possible for Reforged to take so damn long to load?

I'm just referring to normal melee games. Sometimes it loads quickly, within seconds, like with preforged; more often than not it takes minutes, sometimes 3-5 minutes to load. I assume it has to do with people using Reforged gfx, if everyone is using Classic gfx load times would be quicker.
Even with an ancient slow hdd, plus someone using Reforged gfx with integrated graphics sharing 4gb of ram, i still dont see what could take that long to load. Assuming implausibly slow read speed of 10mb/s = 600mb/min... how much memory does Reforged need to preload?
