Long loading time issue

Hey, i play on a toaster and have almost always a really long loading time here on Phoenix when i start zoning. Is there anything i could do about it except buying a better pc or does anybody had the same problem and could solve it?

I played DAoC back in the days on an even older toaster and i never had such long loading time(at least it did not felt that long) when zoning or on other freeshards(that actually was pretty fast). I tried to put an exception in windows defender(all i could find about this issue on the web), but it does not seem to be better. It also does not seem to matter if i play in fullscreen or window mode. I can run Witcher 3 on low details, so my toaster should be able to handle DAoC zoning a bit faster than almost 1-2 minutes i guess. :/

I had usually 10-14 seconds wait time before the loading screen came up and that screen took another 5-7 seconds.
I am running windows 10 and the issue was windows defender.
Type windows defender, go to virus and thread protection settings and turn off real time protection.
Zoning is under 5 seconds now.

So, windows 10 turns the setting on every time you restart, means you have to turn it off again after a while.

This actually reduced my loading time! It's still slow but not as it was before - thank you! But it can't be the solution to turn of this protection, there must be a way to whitelist daoc somewhow?!
