How to speed up Fallout 4 loading time
I have a very fast PC (intel i7 6 core 3.4ghz / all disks are SSD 500MB/s 16GB ddr4 ram). But still, compared to Fallout 3, loading times are very long, when I open door, or use fast travel, I need to wait about 10 seconds, reading the message with some hints, that I wouldn't normally even notice in Fallout 3.
I thought it might be the speed of PC, but apparently, when running task manager simultaneously, I can see that CPU is constantly on 2% usage only, disk usage on 0%, ram is almost free and swap disabled. I don't see anything that would be utilized by the game and that made me think that this delay while loading some different place is here on purpose, so that you actually have enough time to read that tip you can see on loading screen.
I don't need to read these tips, is there any way to force the game to load the map as soon as it's possible? It's extremely annoying!

It's a well known issue related to poor coding.
The solution is to install a mod, such as great acceleration of loading times or load accelerator.
What's happening is that loading is somehow tied to your framerate, and the framerate is limited to 60 FPS. You could unlock the framerate to fix this issue, but the game's physics engine does very poorly with framerates that are too high.
The mod in question therefore unlocks your framerate during loading screens, and resets it to 60 FPS after loading has concluded. Lowering your graphics settings may further improve your loading times. Fortunately, there's not much happening on the loading screen, so lowering your graphics may not be necessary in most cases.
On my PC, the Commonwealth used to take over a minute to load. With the mod installed and working (check your FPS during loading screens), loading times were reduced to only tens of seconds (~200 - 300 FPS).
