That's insane, I remember how many complaints there were about the game having 40 - 50 second load screens when it first released. (n4g.com)
Thankfully these are brief 1 second loads if that, but annoying nonetheless. (n4g.com)
Also, having 30 ~ 45 second load times in between levels, as well as load times after turning your PSP back on from Sleep Mode, is unnacceptable. (playstationlifestyle.net)
