First of all, set in the preferences of EXS what drive you are using.
Second, you should load all programs once and after that they load very 
quickly. I'm not sure whether it's in 4.8.1, but check the EXS 
preferences whether you can assign a midi note to "next instrument". If 
so, assign one. Then put that note in the arrangement and make a cycle 
of 4 bars or so. Let your computer do all the work for you during the 
night. The only problem with this system is that when there's a double 
sample, EXS will ask you what sample to use... so you should check once 
in a while.

I've done it that way and now it's much faster.
Hope this helps.

Bye,
Joeri
