A couple of things, the read speed of the PS4 and Xbox One hard drives is max 6gb/s at stock levels. SSDs as well as SD cards are much faster than this. The cartridges that the Switch will be using are also flash memory and will most definitely outperform 5400 RPM or even 7200 RPM hard drives. It's not a question of if, to me. Of course we do not have official benchmarks yet for the Switch cartridges, but you know as soon as the thing releases there will be side by sides of loading times and consistency and such. Flash memory has come a long way and definitely has surpassed stock hard drives in many ways. Only time will tell though, so we will know in probably a couple of months when the Switch is in everybody's hands.

The cartridges that the Vita uses are also flash memory. Nevertheless some games take up to 2 minutes to load.

I'm not going to lie, this seems like more of a firmware issue than it does a cartridge issue. I bet if Sony cared enough to upgrade the Vita's load times they could have easily. The Nintendo 3DS does not have this problem, and it is running carts as well. I am betting that because of Nintendo's history with using carts and the fact that the current generation does not have a slow read issue, the Switch will not either.
