It's clear to me, you obviously have no idea what Ram is or what it even does.
Ram is a just a big fat large cache, it has no processing capabilities to accellerate anything, it's just a chip that holds information, like an SSD or a USB Flash Drive, just magnitudes faster and it cannot permanantly store data.
You know what those load times even are? It's the length of time it takes for the console to grab data from the Disc or Hard Drive and send them to Ram.
You could have 1024 Terabytes of GDDR10 Ram with 1000438475 GB/s of bandwidth, it will *not* make one ounce of difference if it has to wait for data to be retrived from the the Hard Drive or Optical Drive.
Hence the "tricks" that developers can employ to boost transfer rates with placing data on optimal parts of the disc and using compression, but I said that in my prior post anyway, so no need to repeat myself.
