Xbox 360 Load Times To Fast?

Now this might sound like a strange topic, load times being to fast... but let me explain the problem before you call me crazy.

I just picked up a copy of Kameo and popped it into the 360, started the game, and watched the cinematic intro. All was well. The problem started when I progressed into the game a bit and ran into load times between diferent levels. The game puts up a loading screen and during the short wait a story element plot sequence is displayed in text. I'm not sure how critical the short paragraph is to the overarching story but I would shure like to read it IF IT DIDN"T LOAD SO FAST and force the text off the screen before I was through. In the older generations of game consoles you would have plenty of time to read story elements or hints durng load times but with newer hardware and 512MB of ram at their disposal for the Xbox 360 I think it's important for software developers like Rare to give us readers an option such as "begin level" which would hold the text up there a bit longer and only change the screen after we hit a button or something.

I experienced this problem/agrivation with Call of Duty 2 as well but to a much lesser extent. Call of Duty 2 displays these cool war quotes during load periods and also when you die, but sometimes it loads so fast that you don't finish the quote! I have almost been tempted to die on purpose just to finish the quote...
