I may have been overzealous and installed all the custom characters up to this point. I noticed that the more custom characters there are, the longer the A.I. has to think for. I glanced in the logs behind the scenes and noticed that after every player input it manually checks every instance for custom characters. (of which it says something like 96 available, which leads me to believe it's collectively counting every individual image.)
I didn't know if this was known or not, so I thought I'd mention it.
