PAL VS US WALKING SPEED TO CALCULATE FRAME DATA
=============================================
Starting from start of pac village holding up and walking to the gate
DONE ON DOLPHIN 5.0

PAL

Frame 2907 Start
Frame 3062 Finish

Difference: 155 Frames
Divided by 50: 3.1 Seconds

US

Frame 2284 Start
Frame 2469 Finish

Difference 185 Frames
Divided by 60: 3.083 Seconds

PAL loses 1 frame a second, and one second a minute to US in Framerate alone

In a 45 Minute Speedrun PAL loses 45 Seconds
========================================================

According to Nacho's Gold Splits (used as a estimation bench mark for having good golds in US, and being the current WR holder for PAL)

US INKY               PAL INKY
22.8                         31.5                  = 8.7 Seconds Slower

US PINKY            PAL PINKY
32.52                     43.56                = 11.04 Seconds Slower in PAL

                                                            Bosses = ~18-20 Seconds Slower in PAL
All the other bosses are the same these 2 are the ones that matter

US SD                     PAL SD
2:40.89                  2:23.08           =17.81 Seconds Faster in PAL

US SA                      PAL SA
2.28.00                   2.08.45           =19.55 Seconds Faster in PAL

                                                            =~37.5 Seconds Faster SB+SA

PAL is technically 20-22 Seconds Faster right now

However
Lose 3 Seconds every time you 100% a level
For the 5 Bossess = 15 Seconds

PAL now being 5-7 Seconds Faster Techincally before Factoring Framerate, and being asked to save at the end of levels
(having no memory card does not negate being asked to save in PAL)

Another thing with memory cards is when selecting New Game on the screen
THE GAME CHECKS FOR THE MEMORY CARD

FRAME PERFECT MENU NAVIGATION FOR ADVANCING WITHOUT MEM CARD

US

Frame 1811 Finish

Difference 287 Frames
Divided by 60: 4.783 Seconds
DOES NOT HAVE THE MENU

PAL LOSES 2.157 SECONDS TO THIS DUMB MENU
(which frankly will be more than that when you consider this is assuming frame perfect navigation)

Pal also loses .097 per level with the save menu (except spooky) which is ANOTHER 2.3 Seconds lost assuming FRAME PERFECT TIMING FOR ALL 24

PAL Cannot do Wait Skip which is 6 Second Timesaver

PAL is now 3-5 Seconds slower, but now when we take into consideration the amount of time Pal loses from frames, Pal is more screwed.

45 Seconds lost, in a 45 Minute speedrun, which essentially means PAL can be as slow as about 48 Seconds.

Special thanks to Nacho for helping me with this
