Perhaps this should be in Ideas and Suggestions, but if I was a Dev I'd look for this kind of stuff here.
On my PC, the main-menu's performance is not good. Two reasons really:
1. Background graphics show waves jumping about at around 20 fps.
2. When I select a load game - the graphics and interface both freeze for about minute before switching to the loading screen.
Maybe these are just on my PC. Personally I don't care so much - since the actual gameplay graphics now run really smoothly since all the performance fixes just before release (thanks for all those LODs you made for us guys!)
However, I suspect that new players get the first impression they're in for an unpolished game.
The first problem could be easily fixed by running a video clip of the main-menu background, rather than having the game-engine render it in real time.
The second problem, by including an interim loading bar just to let you know the game hasn't frozen (and perhaps a comforting messsage from Alterra reassuring us of the high quality company death benefits insurance we all received before departure).
Cheers then

#2. I get a pause, but never more than a few seconds. It may depend on whether you use a solid state drive or ordinary hard drive. Solid state drives help a lot with Subnautica's long load times, and the stuttering when it loads a new area.
