Eh, all us mac players are cursed to long load times, and there's nothing to be done about it until after Beta is done, at the very least. Or at least that's what I understand from what limited researched I've done on the topic.
If there was a clean way to compensate for load time differences, that would be excellent and very encouraging. Without them, I play races for similar reasons to why I might play the Powerball lotto: strictly entertainment, as there is no realistic possibility of winning/competing.
Mac is not meant for gaming... it is second compared to PC.. and Linux is third (sometimes second)

GGG can you implement loading time compensation for players with old PC's? Like when event duration 3 hours then event duration for players with long loading time = event duration (3 hour) + time spent on loading from zone to zone.
Have you seen Kripps youtube movie about rendering your quality? I had the same problem, and I changed my texture quality settings in POE and my load times as twice as fast now as they were before.
I played on the lowest settings from the start of playing POE.
Problem not only in my PC. Sometimes I have fast loadings ~5 sec, but sometimes it gets almost to 1-2 min. And its from server side. I know that GGG working on this issue, but they can't go far because they dont have tech personal that can fix it. I hope they will find personal for optimizing game. My suggestion is temporary measure.
Its cause of the game, i have way better specs than you and my loadingtimes are still sometimes a minute or longer..

As a CS student that works and studies on all those three systems on a daily basis I find this statement completelly rediculous. Why would a *nix system be inferior to windows in terms of gaming?

Generally speaking, I agree with you, but lack of video card drivers is a problem I've heard about. Hopefully Valve's Linux initiative will help change that.

just set your alarm
Wake up (1 minute)
turn on pc and start path of exile (2 minutes)
create char and wait (5 minutes to be safe)
race (8 minutes)
turn off pc and go back to sleep (1 minute)
total time spent:
17 minutes
(can be cut down to about 10 by perfecting your strategy)

Please GGG make 4min races! Not everybody has the time to invest 8min in a race!
Some of us have to work you know?!?! PoE always favours the no-lifers >:/
