I honestly don't have that big of a problem with the load times right now. They can be a little irksome but if that's the way it is, that's the way it is. I have never had a system freeze, other than the known bug in Runner 2 that has since been fixed, and I don't visit the settings enough to have that be a problem. Even returning to the home menu isn't that big of a deal. If I do that, I am likely to switch discs so having the load time is just a chance for me to get off my butt. If I go to play an eShop title, I might take the disc out anyway since for some reason the Wii U likes to keep it running regardless.

MUCH faster with these system updates than Sony or MS after launch. MS's updates even made the console slower.....I miss the quickness of the pre-NXE setup :-
