PhilippinesBesides, a save-load cycle costs 13 seconds, more or less, on a HDD -- that's approximately +4m 20s for all points, making a non-stop run potentially faster.
...because it is a run with defined break points. Not everyone has the luxury of performing non-stop runs.
The save points allow governance on where a runner can catch a break.

Insta-kill is about 6-7 seconds slower than sneaking. Might as well perfect the art of sneaking.
Pressing triangle during fast forward seems to do nothing, but it does wonders for skipping dialog without FFWD.
When moving between places, you can already move MC before the screen fades in (i.e. fast travel to Leblanc, point joystick to around 355 degrees - even if the screen is still loading; on screen display, MC is almost at the door).
For network functions, particularly for NG+ runs, are skills acquired via network fusion banned?
