this doesnt make a huge difference. irrelevant in practise unless you are 
writing the thing in BASIC and using GET# =)

LOAD goes over a vector, which most fastloaders hook into. so for example with 
an action replay, 4) would be accelerated by the fastloader - but 3) would 
still be as slow as without one. that is pretty much the one reason for why 
you should always use LOAD if possible. (same thing applies to SAVE too)
