Packages taking forever to load

Problem description

I am using the latest version of ggnetwork. I can load the package just fine: library(ggnetwork)

However, when I use the ggnetwork() function for the first time in a session, it takes around 5 minutes to run. Subsequent function calls are very fast. It's just the initial call that is mind numbingly slow.

I think there must be a problem loading packages, but I'm not sure where to begin. I will paste the warning messages I receive below. If you can help out or offer any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Output BEFORE the code stalls:

Loading tidyverse: readr
Loading tidyverse: purrr
Loading tidyverse: dplyr
Conflicts with tidy packages ---------------------------------------------------
accumulate():    purrr, foreach
arrange():       dplyr, Seurat
as_data_frame(): dplyr, tibble, igraph
between():       dplyr, data.table
col_factor():    readr, scales
col_numeric():   readr, scales
compose():       purrr, igraph
crossing():      tidyr, igraph
discard():       purrr, scales
expand():        tidyr, Matrix
filter():        dplyr, stats
first():         dplyr, data.table
ggsave():        ggplot2, cowplot
groups():        dplyr, igraph
lag():           dplyr, stats
last():          dplyr, data.table
simplify():      purrr, igraph
transpose():     purrr, data.table
when():          purrr, foreach

Wait 5 minutes here…

Output AFTER the code starts running again:
