Comment:

 As posted earlier, this is a duplicate of #11353. Some SCI32 Mac games
 have a tremendous number of audio patch files; PQ4 has 10,000. Our SCI
 engine loads slowly with that many patch files because it reads the
 headers of all of them.

 Most of these SCI32 Mac games aren't even officially supported yet, and
 this is one of the reasons why. I wrote about this issue years ago on the
 wiki, see
 https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=SCI/SCI32_Mac_Support_Status
 under "General TODOs" where it references #11353 .
