Gamespot has displayed the following chart which shows generally that the PSP slim loads up a range of games quite a bit quicker than the original Sony PSP.

QUOTE
Finally, we got to the memory-load testing. You'll find the new "UMD Cache" option in the System Settings Menu. According to the scrolling description, enabling the UMD Cache will "reduce the frequency at which the system reads from the UMD." We enabled the UMD-caching feature and tested a few games to see if it had any affect on load times. UMD caching requires an initial memory load, so we also tested how fast the games could load up levels after we first started and exited a game to preload the data into system memory. We had time to test out only three games, but early results indicate that the additional system memory and UMD caching really do help speed up initial game launches, as well as subsequent level reloads.

Not bad, but not worth the loss of homebrew.

At least i know it loads a bit faster, but i still want my homebrew on my psp. Ill buy the psp slim when homebrew can be played on it. I wished the original psp loaded fast, some games just take AGES!!! But then again, games run faster when they are running off the memory stick than the UMD. And because most people these days have CFW, that means most people have good loading times.

But I guarantee it will. It sure will. I heard DAX' explanation of how the system works. It goes something like nothing is really safe and secured from anything, you just need the proper way of twitching it in order to hack it.

I've heard is will run on FW 3.60 and it can't be modified even with an undiluted chip.
