Why loader
Fast loaders were written to speed up the actual loading time from tape using the ordinary Kernal ROM Routines. Also the actual quality of tapes was getting better and better, which made it possible to store data in a more and accurate way. Meaning it was possible to pack the "pulses" in other ways than how the ROM Loader did it.
