Research direction

Reproduce the OSC loading delay with gpu-api=vulkan and compare it with the default GPU configuration on the reported Windows and NVIDIA setup. Trace the OSC loading path and identify why Vulkan adds about two seconds; done means the OSC loads without that delay or the cause is clearly documented.
