You're joking aren't you? It's one of the fastest loading games I've played. My specs are quad core i5 processor (3.4 GHz), 8gb RAM and 4gb GTX 770, just a basic 1TB hard drive and no SSD. Or in other words... a fairly standard gaming PC by today's standards for under £900.
The first thing about EB2 that delighted me was how fast it loaded. It was pretty much instant, both loading the game for the first time and loading after picking a faction. It loads way faster than Crusader Kings 2, way faster than Europa Universalis IV... in fact I've recently installed and been playing Galactic Civilizations 2 (not 3, not the new one, the old one...) and it loads about as fast as that does.
