Loading times, apart a bit from your RAM and CPU, are always important. The Hard Drive loads it all, if the hard drive = slow, your loading = slow.
I use an SSD so for me it's like a 4 second load but if you run on a low-space disk, full of crap, make backups of what you don't need, format (delete all) the entire thing, then reinstall windows and theres a new world of speed for you.
2 GB of RAM isn't the most either, I don't know what OS you're running though.
