CPU? I'm not an expert, but please tell me you aren't using your CPU to run Gemma-4 Dense(I presume you meant dense and not dance). It would probably explain your slow load times. Assuming you are, it's more practical to use your GPU's VRAM to load and process models. If you are using your GPU, then you likely just need more VRAM/better GPU, to run the model. I think you'd need 24GB or 32GB? Not familiar with the size. If that's too much, consider the lower parameter models you can download for the game. Like I said, I'm not familiar with them all, but I know they go as low as 8GB.
