When I updated to 1.4(.0.2), I noticed that whenever I joined my old worlds and opened chests for the first time, there would be a small stutter every time. This happens every time I open up an old world. This does not appear to happen in new worlds created after 1.4.

This is actually probably "intentional", as it is loading the item assets in the chests. Its similar to the age old bug of running up to a bunch of mannequin displays for the first time, and getting terrible FPS for a few seconds before it clears up.

If I had to guess, the reason its not happening in new worlds is because those new chests have less items in them, and the old chests are loading more assets.

Thankfully it's only for the first time you open a chest on launch of a world, so it isn't really a big issue. This update is better experienced with a new world anyways. Thanks for the help.
