"for example Krill's loader claims to have 7k/sec loading speed"
That's for C-64, though. Loading on C-16 etc. is somewhat slower due to more badline DMA load.
Anyways, SD2IEC support is being implemented right now* and coming along nicely.
Loads significantly faster than a real drive due to no moving parts.
On real drives, speed differences to Bitfire are small, and your mileage may vary depending on material and choice of cruncher.
Note that the next version will come with three new crunchers (TSCrunch, ZX0-Dali, LZSA2), a saver plug-in and performance optimisations.
Next up for the release after that would finally be native 1551 support. I did ebay one of those years ago.
