Not sure what's going on with the latest version, or if it's something I've done wrong, but after unzipping the latest file and simply trying to run MegaMek it takes several minutes to just bring up the program at all.

I'd guess that, if we enabled debug logging, the megamek.log file would show a bunch of weird failures.

By 'fragmenting' do you mean visual artifacting?
Where the gui starts doing weird visual things?
If so, then yeah, you may need to do those changes (I'll link the guide below). However, you should only do it if you encounter visual artifacts. The issue isn't with our code but how some windows set ups interact with Java Swing.
