Saturn had a dedicated 20mhz SH-1 to handle CD-access and loading, it's much faster than PS1.

Why are the load times more or less the same as ps1 then? 4mb ram cart games are thr exception

Whichever one you put a new laser in will be faster.

>Why are the load times more or less the same as ps1 then?
NTA but it depends.
The Saturn's drive is the same speed as the PSX's, so if you're initial loading a game/level/whatever where you're not in gameplay yet, its going to be about the same. Now where the Saturn has the advantage is streaming assets mid gameplay. That dedicated i/o cpu allows the Saturn to load assets without hammering the CPU, where the PSX may drop frames when needing to load stuff mid gameplay or out right throw up a "loading" prompt for a second, the Saturn is able to stream assets off the disc with near zero CPU usage.
