Edit the file C:\windows\chssbase.ini.
In the [Tablebase] section, there's a number which determines the cache size for
the tablebases. Decrease this value to such an extent that Hiarcs takes much
less time for initializing.
Your description indicates that the number for your system is too high, causing
unnecessary swapping.
The "initializing tablebases" message should not take longer than 2 seconds on
most systems.
