Increase in load times thanks to cartridges and small internal memory. But it will download quicker at 2.9GB... Why can't it install like normal games do though. Run-time decompression is such a waste of resources.

No thanks to extra work the CPU has to do decompressing everything.

They where so worried about the size of the game, they went full retard on compression and forgot that it can effect performance.

Its now 2.9GB instead of ~8-9 GB (uncompressed).

Good for digital download sales, and switch owners without much disk space... but bad for performance.

They compressed it to fit it on a smaller cartridge, so yes the loading times are because of cartridges and/or small internal memory. The versions on optical discs that install or download to 500GB+ HDD have no loading times. Performance is affected by smaller file size needing run time decompression.
