Does GS Viewer's 1st loading time matter?

Hi,

My game is about 200 MB, when I launch it in GS Viewer and after it's done compressing and building, it takes about 60 seconds to load the game...
Though after I quit and launch it again (via Recent Games in GS Viewer) it loads pretty fast ~2-3 seconds.
So my question is, should I be worried about those first 60 seconds it takes to "test" the game in GS Viewer?

Thanks!

Forgot to mention, it's for iPad

if you're worried abt how it will load in the "real" world, try publishing the game as an ad-hoc build, and run it on your ipad2. Also don't forget to compare with iPad1

That's a pretty good idea! Thx!

For those who are interested:
I've just tested it and yes, it doesn't matter how long the first loading takes in GS Viewer. After you close it and launch it via Recent Games in GS Viewer - this is 100% loading time in "real time" on all devices.

Thanks imbaent. I had been meaning to ask that question myself. Glad it doesn't take so long to initially load in the "real world". I could foresee a lot of negative reviews.
