The "improved cache" thing never made sense to me because the only area in which a cache can improve things is when the CPU can't keep up with the 75 or 150 frames/sec speed of the 1x/2x drive to copy from the CD controller cache to the program RAM area, which I don't think it's the case on the Neo CD(Z). Unless of course the "improved cache" language used here actually refers to the program RAM area in which the data is loaded and executed as a whole.
Anyway, in both cases loading 307 kb will take 2 seconds in the slower drive, 1 second in the CDZ drive, in a general software standpoint, no matter if the CD controller cache is 2048 bytes or 512 megabytes.
