A few years ago there was a guy who looked into why the game took so damn long to load

A good read, for anyone who missed it: https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/

IIRC rockstar actually took his fix and applied it to the official release.. but I could be misremembering..

There's an update at the bottom of the post. They did, amazingly had released a patch within 3 weeks, and even awarded the author a $10k bug bounty.

Gotta say too, in this day and age of those things usually going colossally the other way - of "we're suing you for 'hacking' our software" - it's actually refreshing to see a company behaving this way.
