bitcoin-cli loadwallet

[ascqrwasc33]

I have this strange problem and would like to know if any of you too has or had encountered the same:
When I fire in console A:

Code:

bitcoin-cli loadwallet walletname

The bitcoind (Daemon console) running on console B says
 [walletname] Wallet completed loading in            2368ms

BUT
The command which I fired on console A does not return back immediately. It makes me wait for easily around 8 to 9 minutes before giving me my prompt back. I need to run
the

Code:

walletpassphrase

command as well after that. But it takes a lot of time and makes me wait. Pressing Ctrl+C renders the loadwallet attempt useless and I have to stop the daemon and restart it and again fire the loadwallet command. The wallet has only 8-10 BTC addresses still it returns back the CLI prompt very slowly. OI am using the latest btc daemon and tools. Any advise how to solve this?

How long is it between the "Wallet completed loading" message and a message that says "setKeyPool.size() ="? Although the completion line is logged near the end of the loading process, there is still a bit more that it does afterwards. In particular, if your wallet is not fully synced, it will do a scan of the blocks that have occurred since the wallet was last loaded, and depending on how long that is, it can take a while.

Having to use walletpassphrase after loading a wallet is expected if your wallet is encrypted. I'm not sure what you're expecting with that.
