Hmm... that's a pretty interesting idea. I'm basing this on a part of computer my knowledge of computer lore that isn't as strong as others, but when Dink was released, most SoundCards had midi hardware. This meant that midis were played directly by the SoundCard, and thus, took very little time to load. Nowdays, as midi playback is pretty much obsolete for games and other applications; newer soundcards use a software emulator to play midi files, and thus it is much slower to load than in the old days.
This is the reason that sometimes on my computer, I take out my Audigy and use the board's native SB 128 PCI for midi playback. Although, a lot of new cards you can now do cool things like load Soundfonts over other instruments... which, sadly, is really only useful in a few cases. I know I had an Aw-choir SF and realistic Piano that worked really well in place of the standard soundbank ones.
