Does SSD or a proper RAID configuration greatly improve load times or does the software not utilize this modern wizardry?

Does improve slightly but nothing spectacular. Single biggest improvement to your zoning time is reducing your ping to the server.

It's almost always about the ping.

HDD to SSD didnt improve it for me by even a millisecond.

A SSD definitely helps. When porting my brother, both using the same internet, zoning at the same time, my computer having EQ on a SSD and his on a normal HD my computer zones about 5 seconds faster.

Ramdisk is where it's at. However due to titanium being an older client and Tte way the client is coded it can only load so fast.
