Very long map loading times in Battlefield 4!

The load times are ridiculous for almost everyone that isn't on a SSD.  But as you said, you're right.  Watching the performance graph, the load screen persists for a good 20 seconds even though the game is no longer loading for some of us, myself included

but there has to be a solution. i cant move the game to my ssd due to its small size

upon further investigation, i stumbled upon a thread on another forum that said the reason the maps take so long to load is because Dice compressed them in these .cas archives just to save a bit disk space. if we could unpack the map files from these archives they should certainly load faster. i dont care if i had to use 100gb more disc space for these maps, i want them to load up faster!
