It may be that your Windows / Linux machines are simply slower. But it is
possible that charSet conversion is playing a part here. When you save a
stack on Windows/Liunx, it gets saved with the ISO charset. When you save
on the Mac, it gets saved with the Mac charset. When you take a stack
between Mac and these other platforms and open it up, the engine performs
conversion on the stack while it is loading. This is generally very fast,
but given that your stacks are 10MB it might be having an effect. The
solution is to save your stack once on the destination platform right
*before* building the standalone.
