How to install xp32 maximum skeleton extended

I also see a few posts in various places indicating XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended may be causing lags with quick saves for some other users although these posts quote something like 10 seconds. When quick saving, I notice Skyrim hangs for a second or two before it creates the quicksave.ess file on a new character. I then deleted all my saves, switched in XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended, and created a new character on a new game. Auto saves and quick saves are lightning fast with no delays at all.

To rule out the possibility of something else causing this issue, I setup a completely new playthrough yesterday using STEP 2.2.9.2 Extended (with XP Maximum Skeleton) and played for a few hours. The odd thing is that Skyrim hangs (only background music playing, no animations at all) with no disk activity for about 20 seconds and then I see the quicksave.ess saved really quickly. When I stopped Friday night, it was taking roughly 15 to 20 seconds for a quick save and about as long for an auto save when crossing a boundary (say an exterior to interior boundary). Over the course of my playthrough I began noticing my autosaves and quicksaves taking a lot more time. I initially didn't notice any differences aesthetically between the two mods. It does support a lot more options, includes more animation in the box, and has a nice MCM menu to customize the options. I've been using XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended for the past week and initially it seemed to be good alternative for XP32 Maximum Skeleton.
