Actually on my PB 1.33Ghz I didn't think the load was that bad, but the 
auto-save did annoy me after a while.
It took almost as much time, at least it seemed that way, and sometimes 
the game was slightly jumpy after warping through a load zone.
Actually, I wasn't playing that level straight so it didn't bother me, 
but there do seem to be a lot of load zones. I agree that either more 
zones with seamless transitions, or fewer with slightly longer, but 
more obvious time consumption would be good.

Are you supposed to be able to pick up the cat when it is running? I 
can only get it when it's walking or still.
