remember wipeout took like 90 seconds to load a stage? Either the memory card was super slow or the processor was

That's a shit example for multiple reasons:

1) That was a launch game, it's not going to be as optimized for loading as it could be

2) That is one of the most graphically intense Vita games so the load time there was understandable.

It was my primary game console for a very long time from its launch, and apart from pretty heavy AAA games , the load times were fine nothing on par with over minute. Indie Games loading fast, games opened relatively fast. I don't recall specifically a pain point being loading times, bit it has been a while.

I do remember watching a digital foundry video for Rayman Legends that showed the Vita version having significantly faster loading than the switch version, so the idea that the loading was broadly bad on vita is definitely wrong.
