Sort of. The two highest levels, as far as I know, only differ in 
"Crazy" having the movies installed to the hard disk as well. That is, 
the level below "Crazy" probably won't make much of a difference. The 
lower levels leave more data on the CD, which will consequently have to 
be loaded off the CD at the start of the level. In short, play itself 
won't change much, but the loading times will. Even then though, with 
nowadays' CD drives, that won't make much of a difference. The main 
advantage of the "Crazy" install is that you can use a no-CD crack or 
D2x and play without the CD. :)


Bye,

Florian
