How do we determine our time with and without loads? I'm a bit confused on how I should do splits for this category

Your time with loads is the time from when u create character and then fade out on beating ghaul.

Without loads is your time exluding all cut scenes, loading times, and time in orbit.

Its a huge pain but you time it in RTA while running and afterwards you take the VoD/Recording and run through it on a video editing program such as premier or vegas (or movie maker/ blender for free options) and delete all cutscene, orbit, and loading times out of the run and use the new video duration as the loadless time. You don't need to export that new video you just need the length of it. Hope this helps!

Not to necro this, but why is time spent in orbit timed out. I was watching a few New Game runs they really abuse this when grinding events to level mid-game, time spent menuing and picking where to go and idling in space is part of the run
