[Coding] DSAM takes forever to load the account database

[Alex.]

Type: Coding
Bug: When we release new patches, except simple hotfixes, our usual procedure involves telling DSAM to do a complete re-load of the account database. This is ungodly slow and it's not clear why. It doesn't take nearly that long to grep through all character files or even to run mass equipment changes. This sometimes holds the server in downtime for hours during patching.
Since the latest DSAM source code was last some years ago we may have to decompile the existing one we have on the desk, fix up the resulting source code, test it out, and attempt to deploy it to the live server.
