Hacking USB Loader GX - high game load time variance

[Marienburg]

Just modded a wii for the first time and experiencing very high variance in the load times of Wii games being loaded by usb loader gx. Loading the same game (eg FE Radiant Dawn) can load as fast as 20 seconds or as long as 10 minutes, also saw load times of 2 and 5 minutes. There's also no sequential trend, ie it doesn't progressively get worse, but goes to 10 minutes and the very next time the game is loaded it could be down to 1 minute. Same thing experienced with Brawl, Metroid Prime and NSMB. Doesn't seem to affect gamecube games, only Wii games. Any thoughts on what it could be?

All I can think of is maybe, maaybee your USB is super slow/dying?

Updating the Homebrew Channel to ios58 will enable USB2.0 read speed.
Also, are you using a USB2.0 and the USB2.0 port on the Wii? (closest to the edge)

3 - Your wii is up to date with the hacks to make proper use of usb 2.0?
