One sure fire way not to be considered a pr1ck is not to make statements about something unless you are
absolutely positively sure you know what you are talking about.
It has already been confirmed by the developers that the longer your patrol runs the longer your load times will be. Different hardware may mean that different people experience differing results, but the length of time it takes for a particular machine to load a particular patrol is directly dependant on the length of that patrol, and will increae as the length of patrol increases.
