Load lag for HTML Animation Cap 8

I've made a really cool HTML5 animation in Edge Animate with jQuery and published it as a .oam file. I loaded it onto a slide in Captivate 8 and when I publish the project it takes a few seconds to load the animation. I did get it to load instantly by adding it into a Captivate 7 project with the Captivate 7 App Packager. The Cap 8 App Packager doesn't load .oam files anymore so that's not an option.

Is there anyway to make it load instantly in Captivate 8?

The 'lag' is probably the time it takes for the animation and all the files it requires to download and get set up.  How quickly it loads will depend on the bandwidth to the end user's device.  That's going to be beyond your control.

The .oam file is only 261KB so it really shouldn't take any time to load. It's the animation that is lagging, not the captivate presentation. I'm still testing this module out so it's only 3 slides, there's no audio, and no other graphics involved yet. I've even put the animation on the second slide to see if the Captivate file loads quickly and it does.

I'm running it locally and the computer I'm working on has plenty of power to drive the work that I want it to do so that's not the issue either.

Have you factored in the time it takes to load up and initialise all the JavaScript libraries required for these animations?
