Spitfire's plugin is notoriously slow to load mics even with anti-virus exclusions. I adore many of my Spitfire libraries but this is a known issue that they've not resolved after years of complaints. It's the only player/VI host that loads like this, even compared with others on the same drive (SINE, Synchron, Kontakt, UVI, OPUS, Engine 2, Gorilla, etc.).
Still quality VIs, but let's not make excuses for this particular issue.

Hey! Cheers for the comment! I can only speak from experience and once I’ve set the exclusions, the library does load a lot quicker. Obviously everyone will have slightly varied experiences but that is mine. Not at all making excuses for the plug-in.
