Starmade | Sectors loading in very slowly

Description

Some sectors are loading very slowly.

Ships and stations have large cunk sections missing.
Sector 1 Homebase)
Sector 2 Warp Gate and 400m long ship

Admin Teleporting an affected ship to a adjoining sector results in that ship loading in quickly.
I stayed in a problem sector and a player logged out and back in.
At this point the homebase had fully loaded in for me ( after 10 minutes) but for the player he initally couldn't see anything aside from markers, could not even see me. After a minute or so small chunks started to apopear.

Advised players to renstall client including myself as admin. Clean install from old launcher did not fix the issue.
Performed sector repairs, didnt fix the issue.
Server restart didnt fix the issue.
Server shut down and then restarted appears to have solved the problem for the moment.
Perhaps a desync to the client?

Steps to reproduce
  1. tp to a sector (that has something in it)
  2. notice that not a single entity loads for you for the first 2 seconds
Tester information (Internal use only)

It's mostly fine. Sectors may even load faster now.

There's however a delay in it, the first 2-3 seconds after entering a sector, nothing loads. After that it's fine.
That delay doesn't really get longer or shorter depending on amount of entities or size so not sure to what it would be related.

-Confirmed-

Can be reproduce by spawning in multiple (big?) ships in succession. The 1st one should load fully and at a decent speed. The 2nd and 3rd one will most likely load a part of it and then grind to a slow crawl, sometimes they just stop loading completely.

Entering a sector with many ships should trigger the same, seems that it can't handle multiple ships at once.

This appears to be fixed completely, can't reproduce anymore even multiple large ships and stations.
Going to leave it open for a while to see if it pops up again.
