GeForce Now - Subscription Tier and Load Screen Time for PoE2?

Hello fellow cloud gamers,

I'm currently using the GFN "Performance" tier (RTX - 8 vCPUs) at 1440p, and in general it's running fine in T15s (igniting the screen), however the load screens when changing zones or even bringing up the map at a waypoint is pretty slow and I have a couple questions:

1) Are slow load screens just a PoE2 thing? I've been assuming it's an asset caching issue specific to GFN, but maybe everyone is experiencing it?

2) Is there anyone on the "Ultimate" tier that can pipe in on whether the load screens are faster and generally if it performs much better?

Thanks!

(Looking forward to a Mac client eventually!)
