It's the BD+ system that caused it to take so long. You may experience this on a few titles from Fox depending on the player. The BD-P1400 takes about 40 seconds to load up FF4SS. The Panny DMP-BD30 takes about 17-20 seconds. The PS3 takes about 10 seconds. I believe the Sharp is quite quick with BD+ as well, around the same time as the Panny. Samsung appear to be the worst for loading times with BD+. Hopefully the BD-P1500 will be much faster. What about that overpriced, non TrueHD, not bitstreaming slow brick that is the #1 or #2 standalone--the Sony BDP-S300? How long does it take to load with BD+?
