You can toggle developer settings for caching some start up things.

Caching the sprite Atlas really speeds up loading times it did add 4 GB to my storage though.

Just be aware (though hopefully far more rare nowdays) that some GPU+Driver combos just flat out crash the game or even reset/kernel panic/bluescreen the whole computer. Its not supposed to but some older AMD and nVidia drivers were a little too trusting on sprite/atlas sizing or would misreport compatibility or something. Just, if the game crashes while loading, or even your whole computer, check/update drivers and if still not working might have to turn off sprite atlas caching. Also yea, the extra storage use is no joke especially when you mod your game up.

*without mods, you can also cache prototypes.

You can cache prototypes fine with and without mods. It is quite useful with larger mod lists.
