Arcade operators had to deal with that delay every morning when all their machines powered up. Autosave would be a good idea, but it's not stable at all for that game/driver. Best bet is to either play it for a while when you do load it up and use INSERT to fast-forward the emulation as quick as your machine allows during the initial loading process.
