Really? Wow, I didn't know that. According to Wikipedia the MIDI protocol operates at 31.25 kbit/s, roughly 4kB/s. So unless I've completely gotten the math wrong, loading 2MB of samples (2048kB) would take around... 4+ minutes I think? That's assuming the MIDI standard can use its entire bandwidth for file transfers, which is of course by no means a given.
