Is it normal for emmunand to have slower loading times?
Tears of the Kingdom, for example:
- 22 seconds to load a save file on OFW (with the game installed on the SD Card)
- 30 seconds to load the same save file on emmunand (installed in the same SD Card)

My SD Card is a Sandisk Ultra 512GB SDXC. With partition based emmunand, FAT32.

I'm on the latest firmware (19.0.0). But I had this happening in both 17.0.0 and 18.0.0

Emunand saves are on the SD card.

Emunand saves are on the SD card.

So that's expected behavior? Games in general takes around 20 to 30% more to load in my emmunand.

SD card is slower than the actual emmc.

 

[hideAidon]

SD card is slower than the actual emmc.

Sorry, but it's still unclear for me.
Games taking 20 to 30% more to load is normal for emmunand? I forgot to mention that it's and OLED with Picofly RP2040.

Am I doing something wrong? Bad Micro SD Card maybe?
Can I do something to improve the loading times?

The system internal storage emmc is faster than your SD card emulated Emmc.

 

[hideAidon]

The system internal storage emmc is faster than your SD card emulated Emummc.

Ok, thank you. Then it's normal here for me.
I knew that internal storage is faster, but I didn't expect emummc being up to 30% slower.

My Gosh! You're right. Try an earlier capture, then.

Did you look or are you assuming? There isn't an earlier section of the page I'm looking for.

Ok, that is the page I am looking for!

For some reason, I kept getting the message that there wasn't an archived page available, even after searching for it.

On all other pages, there are snapshots available and that wasn't at issue. Anyway, thanks for the link it's appreciated.
