Lag burst from unit creation?

Any idea why my game freezes for about a second when unit is created from the trigger below? No where else in this trigger does it lag except when the shadow spirit is created.

Trigger:

Actions

Unit - Replace Perin 0010 <gen> with a Dark Knight using The new unit's max life and mana

Unit - Change color of (Last replaced unit) to Purple

Player - Change color of Player 1 (Red) to Purple, Changing color of existing units

Unit - Hide Dark Knight 0018 <gen>

Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to (Last replaced unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Last replaced unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Resurrect\Resurrecttarget.mdl

Set Hero1 = (Last replaced unit)

Selection - Select Hero1

Unit - Order Valin 0011 <gen> to Move To (Center of Region 011 <gen>)

Unit - Turn collision for Valin 0011 <gen> Off

Wait 2.50 seconds

Unit - Create 1 Shadow Spirit for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Region 065 Copy 6 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Last created unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Resurrect\ResurrectTarget.mdl

Unit - Order Fam1 to Right-Click Hero1

Anitarf	Is this the first time you create a shadow spirit? In that case, the lag might be due to the game having to load all it's abilities and model; you can fix this by preplacing the unit on the map, so it gets loaded as the map loads, and then removing it with a trigger when the game starts.

Captain Griffen	First time the unit is loaded? Create it at start up and destroy it, should solve it.
