How do loading times on Xbox Game Pass compare to physical media?

I’ve been using Xbox Game Pass for a while, and I’ve noticed that some games seem to take longer to load compared to those installed from physical discs. Are the loading times really worse on Game Pass games, or is it just a coincidence? How do your experiences compare when playing a Game Pass title versus a physical copy?

I've noticed longer loading times with Game Pass games too. It seems like physical discs often perform better overall, surprisingly.

I’ve been using Game Pass too, and honestly, I haven’t noticed much difference between Game Pass and physical games once they’re installed. If anything, older consoles or external drives might make a difference.
