Question How can I load Everquest faster?

From the time I click my EQ icon to the time I get in game is roughly 20 seconds. It's fast, but I'd like it to be even faster. I've optimized everything I can think of and I have a pretty high end custom gaming PC with the following specs:
32GB of SDRAM DDR4 3000
8GB GDDR5 graphics card
Intel Core i7-7700K Quad-Core 4.2 GHz
500GB 3D V-NAND Sata III SSD
Windows 7 64-bit Professional

What else can be done to increase the speed that Everquest loads? The longest delay is from the server select to the character select. That takes anywhere from 8-10 seconds, sometimes only 6 seconds but it's never 100% consistent.

Specifically, if I upgraded from 32GB of RAM to 64GB of RAM, in theory it should make loading the game even faster, yes?

What assets can I safely remove from Everquest (either server side or client side) to decrease loading times during initial character logins?

Any tips are greatly appreciated!
