Faster loading of hot cues & memory points (or choose when to automatically load them) for a faster workflow

Hi! 

I'm a heavy user of hot cues, prepping all my tracks with all 8 (and wouldn't mind even more). What I have some issues with is the automatic loading time when each track is fully prepped. Today all hot cues & memory points have to be loaded before I can start play the track. Since I need to wait 6-7 sec per track before I can start to pre-listen, it slows down workflow a lot during a set. In a tight set with a lot of mashup mixing and layers adding some extra 30-60 sec or so on each transition is a lot. (For me to remove the auto load and manually load 8 hot cues per track each time is not a good solution either, too many buttons pushed each time for a good workflow especially with adrenaline flowing and everything else that happens during a set, extra tasks is not what you are looking for)

So what I think could be a solution (if technically possible) is to be able to start play each hot cue when it's loaded before all of them are. 
Another solution could be to add a feature for "load all hot cues" without having to press 9-10 buttons to call them all. Then I could remove auto load, search through the tracks fast to know what to play next and then auto load all when I have my next choice. 

Cheers!

That's already a preference for the CDJs; see the option in the UTILITY menu on the player, or set that as your My Settings preference for your USB drive within rekrodbox.

Thank you for the fast reply! <3
Can you help me out here, the only setting I see is the Hot Cue Auto Load? What am I missing? :)

I realised I was a bit unclear about the "load all hot cues". Sorry, hard to explain every detail correctly.

What I mean is a manual button for auto-load. Another sub-optimal feature is that when you have loaded a track with Auto load hot cues-enabled, the only way I seem to be able to change track without having to wait for all to load before I can change to another track in the list, is to use the skip button limiting me to one step back - forth at the time. The "navigation wheel" is not interrupting the load.
