However, playing games on PCSX2 from the disk is bad (slow, graphics glitches etc) compared to running from the hard drive. I understand read speed is slower on disk, but I don't see how this should affect the game once loaded? I don't mind copying the games to ISO but would rather save HDD space. Is there a setting I can improve playing from the disk?
Playing from disc can be somewhat slower, loading times can be a bit longer and game might stall for a second or so if the game is loading a lot of data during gameplay. If it's worse than it might be that your disc drive is slow/outdated. You could try going to Config > Emulation Settings > Speedhacks tab, and enable the "enable Fast CDVD" hack and see if that helps.
I've never seen any graphical glitches that only occured when playing from disc though. Are you sure there isn't some setting causing it?

I'm not sure. This is what I'm asking really.
Some games load data from the disk constantly,other only what is needed for the current area/room/screen.
When you play from the disk,the disk becomes hotter.
I tested a couple more disks last night and they ran fine. Must be hit and miss.
As I said,it depends on the game.
Some games can run for a while even if you eject the disk.
Remember Tales of the Abyss where you could open up the PS2 while on the world map, to get to areas you're not supposed to yet?
