What I have been doing is loading G8 in, and impatiently waiting and creating a character, then converting to G8.1. That way it ONLY loads the morphs it actually uses with that trick, with G8.1 morphs you may actually have of course. If I MUST use something like expression morphs (which uses the hack from the official forums to allow using them on G8.1) or some of the auto muscle morphs etc I create a symbolic link in the G8.1 morphs folder to JUST those folders.
I plan to experiment to see what I can do about making a barebones 8.1a morph folder to load my characters from. Just default 8.1 loads from there along with mandatory morphs and use the same file trick to load only what is needed from 8.1 as well to speed loading even more.
Here is a left field thought.
I am wondering if our in house conversion specialists would consider conversion of G9 characters to be usable on G8.1?
I know it is possible to use a clone to fit G9 clothing to G8, the trick being you have to have G9 installed in order to create the clone.
A tutorial for that is available here, if anyone would like to have a go.

As usual Daz introduces something that needs multiple fixes and work-arounds for little actual benefit. They count on one being born every minute. You can count me out of this one.
As SOON as K.H.Image studio's ultimate bend morphs release for G9 I'll be able to use G9 properly, as vanilla G9 anatomical bends of G9 are abysmal on their own, but will look much more realistic rather than the noodle-kneed G9.
Well, as soon as somebody comes up with a good G9 to G8.1 Clone, the sooner we might be able to salvage something from the mess, by retrofitting the cream of G9 clothing & characters to G8.1.

@eelgoo Heard! (or to G3) would be great indeed.
Footwear has always been an inter generation stumbling block, especially after the deletion of the ankle in G8 IIRC?
I was just wondering, is G9 footwear going to be an easy retrofit?
( Unlikely, I know! 😉 )
Genesis 9 is a step backward, not forward. I can't see for the life of me why they don't make much needed software improvements instead of wasting resources and energy on Genesis 9. Genesis 8 and 8.1 are fine - I, personally, am happy with both. I've played around with G9 a bit, but I just don't like anything about it. It's basically Genesis 2.0.
@eelgoo Yep; that's what I mean. It's like they just revamped Genesis a little. I hate the shape of Victoria 9, it's really blocky - for want of a better word. I just wish they'd upgrade Studio; it's long overdue.
To be completely fair to DAZ, different teams work on different things. I wouldn't want a programmer to make a new figure just as I wouldn't want a modeler to work on a core code change.
