For a given savegame the first loading is always longuer than the subsequents.
I did my little benchmarks, and I got 2mn10s for the first, and between 1mn5s et 1mn 30s (depending on the graphic settings) for the subsequents.
BTW: I extracted every pak file and made sure the game uses the extracted copies.
Questions:
1-Do you consider 2mn and 1mn not that bad?
2-Do you consider a 2Ghz octocore, 7Gb ram, 7200rpm hdd, gfx 8800gtx, decent PC?
Side note: Usually seeing something move helps waiting. In my case, there is a pause at ~15% (which takes >50% of the loading time), so the wires don't move there.
Silly thing: Do you have a 3d context initialized behind the load screen? 'Coz if you could make a very simple animation (I was thinking about raining corpses with ragdoll effect), it would make loading times...more fun.
