Funny thing is, that usually works for emulators. Makes you feel like you're pressing "Skip" but for the loading screen

    I know nothing, but it looks like they're trying to set game speed to 1000x before loading a level.

    The (obviously facetious) implication being that it would speed up load times because everything is running 1000x faster.

    I initially read this as something useful:

    Slow down the update loop thing by 1000x while loading to reduce overhead.

    Which seems like a nice thing to do.
