Yeah, I tried this on my MacBook with 32 GB of RAM. It loaded faster, but the response time was definite around 1-2 minutes.
Thanks for adding to the comments here.

What is exactly the loading time at 32 GB RAM? I'm thinking about expanding the RAM on my laptop

I didn't really major it an I believe it depends a lot on What else is going on on your computer. For example, I loaded mine using Docker.
