What I'm wondering is why it's so difficult to deal with the loading one time, then you save the nvram files you've created, make them read only, and use them to keep the loading times to a minimum later on. Frankly, I kind of like the long loading times. Makes my imagination believe I was a spoiled rich kid back then whose mommy and daddy bought me expensive arcade games that I played once or twice, then never touched again. Heh.
