Alembic Skeletal Mesh slow loading in 4.19

Hello everyone,

I have a skeletal mesh asset imported from an alembic file.
Since I switched to v4.19, this asset take a huge amount of time to load, something like 4 to 5 minutes. In another computer where v4.18 is installed the same asset is loaded in a couple of seconds.

I tried to reimport the asset but it seems to take forever. This is an huge issue because if I start the project as Standalone the game remains in the loading screen for something like 6-7 minutes before the map is loaded!
Again, if I start the same map in Standalone mode in v.4.18 it only takes 10 seconds max to start the game.

What am I suppose to do? Should I spend an huge amount of time trying to reimport the asset or there are some other workarounds that I can try?

Thanks

UPDATE: I tried to reimport the alembic but my the ue crashed because it ran out of memory. I tried to reimport it on a 32GB RAM computer…
