Yes Laurent, this is the expected behavior with 7604 SP4, 8.0 and upwards with the said optimizations for caching.
Typical lab results with OOTB ITSM used to take around 50 minutes for preload; is now down to 10- 12 minutes and for CPU from a 90+ % utilization it has come down to around 50% utilization with the optimizations in place. Yes, now the systems/Midtier will be responsive even during Pre-load operation is on.

I wonder if that's the kind of timing that is "normal" or not? The main difference compared to 7.6.04 (last time I checked) is that you can use the VM in the meantime, before it was simply impossible, all cpu went to the preload...

The pre-load timings of Midtier have been optimized in 7604 SP4 and onwards. To quantify the improvements, the pre-load timings have been reduced by 75% and CPU utilization during pre-load has been reduced by 50%. Also a visual “Preload indicator” is available as part of latest cumulative hot fix for 7604 SP4. Earlier one had to rely on Mid-tier logs to check things here. The said changes are part of Midtier 8.0 as well.
