I was doing some runs for Clarkson% (because it's my category why not) and noticed that I consistently gained control at around the 26 second mark. When watching Zekroming's run, he gained control around 21 second mark. I tried closing any extra tabs or applications I didn't need open, but there was little change. To my understanding this is a personal issue, but I couldn't think of any way to make my load time more efficient. This does mean, however, that I'm incapable of competing in any speedrun category if I'm always 5 seconds behind anyone I'm running against (assuming that most people gain control at the same 21 second load time).

My solution? Make timers begin when runners gain control, or when the first input is made. It would eliminate the inconsistency in load times, and allow any future or current runners with a similar issue to mine to not have a disadvantage in running Crypt.
