You would notice the speed of the faster drive when playing games, for
example. A 7200-rpm drive will respond noticeably faster than a
5400/5900-rpm drive when playing games because "speed matters" in
games where reaction time to events onscreen make a difference. But,
if you are playing games where "speed matters", then you should be
using a SSD, not a rotating drive.

The stuff that comes off the disk are usually new chapters of the game,
but the whole chapter would get mostly loaded into RAM, and there
shouldn't be any lag time during action sequences as they would be
entirely in RAM.
