Why does it take 5 mins to read 40mg proj at startup?

Running FCP on iMac i7, 8 gigs memory and a Lacie 1 tera...
Project is less than 40mg (tho efx heavy, filters, motion etc.)
Ran Disk Util verify and repair ~ no problem!

(Have left a trail of old unrelated projs around ~
but this one seems clean...) ???
 
40MB seems to me to be on the rather - er, very - large side of things for a project file. Just that alone would be a good reason for the long project open time.
 
Closing any open timelines can help as well before you save, this way FCP doesn't have to waste time preparing them when you open the project.
 
Thanks, Noah, Tom
Thanks guys,
I've come to the conclusion that my projects are so efx heavy:
with so many seqs filled with filters and motion
that that is exactly what's been slowing me down.
So I made a new project with just the few sequences
I'm working on ~ which comes up in under a minute.
