I play Destiny regularly and mentally triage zone changes to save time constantly, e.g. everyone does their business in the Tower, then we all return to orbit/lobby, then match up, then load into whichever zone. It still feels interminable at times and oddly underutilized as down time except for the availability of your inventory for fussing over equipment.
I forget that load times are obviated by recent PCs because so much of my diet is Destiny
