Morrowind XBOX owners, please help with experiment!

[Ruined]

In my continuing quest to unravel the XBOX history, I was wondering if you could help me with a little experiment. I recently got to play Morrowind with an XBOX manufactured in 9/02. I also played it on a console manufactured in 2001. It seems there may be a difference in hard disk speed between the two consoles. So, could you do the following to confirm my suspicion (or insanity):

Simply start Morrowind, Load your game, then once it is done loading and you are in the game, SAVE it again. Time how long in seconds it takes the "Saving..." message/bar to go off the screen (just do 1-mississippi, 2-mississippi, etc). Post your results here!

I'm curious to see if the hard drive was changed as well as the DVDROM.

I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I remember reading that the HD was changed from a 13gig, down to the current 8gig. I'm not sure when the change was made though.

There is a problem with this question and here's how it works, at the start of morrowind your character has nothing you have not started to explore the world and collect things yet so at this point the time it takes to save the game is fast. Now later on in the game such as where I'm at ( level 28 barbarian with tons of stuff 5 houses full of stuff and a decent chunk of the land explored ) it now takes me alot longer to save my game because the game has to save so much more information such as where I put stuff and what all I have laying around. Back at the start of the game my saving times were fast now I got to wait a bit. One other thing you can check just to make sure is your save game file I can't remember what it is at the start of the game but as you go along your save file becomes larger mine is now at a little of 200 blocks just to save one game. So this has nothing to do with the hard disk speed its just how the game works. I hope this helps answer your question.
