In the 1.21.0.20 preview, game loading and creating/loading up a world was relatively fast. This is not the case in the 1.20.80 release version. The game loads up far slower and worlds take far longer to load/create. This issue has nothing to do with the amount of worlds and other things that are in both versions.

Can confirm, reproduced this on a low-end AMD Ryzen 5000-series APU laptop.
After multiple additional tests, I can confirm that the number of items you have installed to the game's storage is irrelevant (whether it be addons, BP, RP, Worlds, etc.), and will have zero impact on the launch/loading times of the game.
How I reproduced this:
I first ran 1.20.81, with no resource packs or add-ons enabled or installed, nor had any worlds saved. After 10 consecutive runs, I was able to average out the loading time to around 15 (+-1) seconds. In this instance, I started the timer as quickly as possible after clicking on the game in the start menu and would stop it as soon as I saw the main menu appear.
I then did the same test on the preview/beta without any world saves, BP, RP, add-ons, etc. and after timing, the results not only showed that it launched quicker, but that the loading times were slightly more consistent than on 1.81. The launch times on the preview averaged around 5 (+-1) seconds on my device.
All of these tests were conducted in windowed mode (not full screen), after double-checking, which mode the game is in also has virtually no impact on the overall loading times.
As for world load times, the difference was much less noticeable, and there was only an average difference of about 8–10 seconds in world creation speed.
Observations:
If you run the preview with, let's say, 20 worlds that add another 61 MB's to the game plus 9 add-ons, and compare the loading speed to an installation of 1.20.81 without anything stored, the loading times will still be on average 3 times as fast.
Additionally, I've observed that on 1.20.81, the game always appears to get stuck at the 40% mark for most of the boot time.
This appears to have been fixed as of the 1.21 full release, as such I am unable to reproduce it any longer. Is this still an issue?
