Sorry, I want to clarify. I noticed I typed it wrongly in my previous post: reading from a physical drive is ALWAYS slower than reading from a digital drive. That's what I meant to say, because in 99% of all cases your CPU and hard drive will be faster than your hardware reading from the physical install (UMD, DVD, etc).
I tried to play some CC yesterday just to see how it turned out seeing that the graphics error caused by older revs is fixed. I didn't experience any freezes or hiccups but my FPS was very low in combat, hovering between 7-15 depending a bit on the amount of monsters present on the screen. Unplayable to me, nonetheless. I also noticed that Crisis Core had a remarkably low GPU load (at most 10%) despite that combat should be graphics heavy. I didn't fiddle anything with the settings though but went with Hyakki's recommended settings.
