I've just posted r41Beta9 to the "MagmaTester" project of squeaksource. Earlier in release 41, a new feature / fix was applied that ensured all objects in an old session are updated when the session is reconnected.
The way this was implemented slowed down connection times, significantly when a large footprint is cached. This has now been optimized so that connection times are back to normal for not-so-old sessions. Very old sessions may still take some time to bring forward, but everyday images are as fast as they once were.
