Map compression on connect seem to cause this with the right map:

Did a little digging, looks like its because the map compression takes a whole lot of CPU during map loads. I added c4e21ea to hopefully speed up compression, but ill look into maybe spinning it into a new thread to decrease how much it blocks.

c4e21ea seems to address a lot of common cases, but during worst-case scenerio (a map of completely random blocks), its still pretty slow.
