10 Second Delay to play comp

There is a consistent 10 second delay between hitting play regardless of how that is done, space bar or manually with the preview panel, and even when everything is 100% RAM previewed. It also happens no matter what is it in the comp, it could even be a single solid and there will be a 10 second delay between play and actual playback.

For us, disabling multi-frame rendering works around the problem but that of course makes rendering fall back to the old slow speed.

The slowness to start preview was mentioned in the annoucement of MFR preview (https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta/multi-frame-rendering-is-here-aka-the-multithreading-you-ve-been-asking-for/td-p/11885358/page/10) - we are working on making it start instantly, it just requires a few more weeks of coding work to finish it up.
