Cubase sx3 / battery 3 problem

[loglady]

I have Cubase sx3 and Battery 3, when using B3 the loading time for a project is very long. In the Csx3 mixer, there are many battery channels appearing, both stereo and mono. In B3 i have gone into options and selected the audio outputs one stereo output and no mono's, yet the buttload of extra channels are still in the Cubase mixer, slowing everything down. These channels are un-selectable in the Battery cell pages, so should not exist in cubase at all.

Anyone know how to get rid of the redundant Battery channels, so i'm left with just the B3 stereo master?

Also, any tips for improving project loading times in general? (software settings not hardware advice please).
