No, there 's no connection between the Dash & the required time to load the game. If U launch an original CD/DVD of the game from the Dash (always other than M$ Dash in this example), it 'll launch it as with a normal retail X-Box non modded or using an exploit. But if it's a backup on CD/DVD it 'll need a bit + time to load it. If the backup 's stored in Ur HD, it 'll be loaded + quickly than an original CD/DVD of the game. Mr X is 100% correct. If it is significantly slower check other beneficial factors
