I've noticed some time ago that a level will ALWAYS load faster if you have played it before in the same day. As in, as long as you don't restart your game (by closing and opening it) you can always use other save files to pre-load the levels for faster loading.

I was wondering if that'd be okay or if you folks think it'd be better to have a standard for this, like having to close and re-open the game before every run so the loading time is at its default for everyone. I would even record the loading times on my computer to see how many seconds I'd need to add to my run if necessary, so folks are all on the same playing field.

The other way is just having save files backed up for the game, load them up, pre-load every level and then start your runs for the day, which sounds a bit too much trouble for newcomers.

I think we are fine as is. If someone happens to beat their PB on the first run of the day we can easily compare loading times and discount. It's just a few scenes anyways.
