Simon,

There are several potentially time-consuming tasks during this phase. One is filing in any new Squeak code that the project may be bringing with it (some projects have a lot, most have none). If you want to get a better picture of what it's doing, you could add a MessageTally to

	ProjectLoading class>>openName:stream:fromDirectory:withProjectView:

around the part of code running in the magenta phase:

...
	ProgressNotification  signal: '3:unzipped'.
MessageTally spyOn: [		"<<<------ add this"
	ResourceCollector current: ResourceCollector new.
	morphOrList _ morphOrList fileInObjectAndCode.
	mgr _ ResourceManager new initializeFrom: ResourceCollector current.
	archive ifNotNil:[mgr preLoadFromArchive: archive].
	(preStream respondsTo: #close) ifTrue:[preStream close].
	ResourceCollector current: nil.
].		"<<<------ add this"
	ProgressNotification  signal: '4:filedIn'.
...

Cheers,
Bob
