Why does it take so long to load disk?

[brettallica]

Could the long load times -- both in your player and all players in general -- be attributed to the fact that you're loading ~25 GB worth of data? It's just a thought, as I don't technically know the answer. It just makes sense that these first generation Blu players weren't quite made with fast load times in mind; at least not as a primary focus anyway. I'm sure future generation players will come with better processors and so forth.

I'd be willing to bet that a DVD loads much faster than a BD on your system (they DEFINITELY do on mine); hence, the theory of load time length being tied to data amount that is being loaded holds at least some water.
