How different are Nintendont loading times from playing from a disc on the Wii? Also is Nintendont classified as an emulator?

basically the same speed from what I can tell, tho idk if there's a small difference

USB/ SD load times from Nintendont are a lot faster, and therefore it's not allowed. Disc loading through Nintendont should be the same, but I'm not 100% sure about that. It's preferred to just load discs through Gecko OS or the Disc Channel.
