Are these less prone to loading than Aluminum Oxide belts - or are
they just longer lasting in the event that I don't irreparably gunk
them up like I usually do?
Care to share any tips on a) avoiding loading in the first place and
2) salvaging those for which I've ignored (a)?

Zirconia belts can be loaded and cleaned over and over unless you load
it with a molten gunk such as some paints. But they do last much longer.
I have only purchased one for my large sander (80 grit for hogging off),
and it has lasted through many AO finer belts that I use for finishing
off. I used to use a zirconia disk on my outboard spindle on my lathe
for sharpening. Never wore it out.

I cannot remember where I read this but somewhere I read that old tennis
shoes can clean sanding belts. Also old crepe soled shoes. Larry

The "big gummy blocks" are blocks of crepe rubber. Before I spent money on a
block, I had some old crepe rubber soled shoes and took the heel, the
thickest part, and used it to clean a sanding disk to see if it would work.
When my old shoes wore down, I then bought a couple of blocks and use them
all the time.

eraser.

they don't seem to load up as much as most belts. they are far more aggressive
and lest a hell of a lot longer. well worth the cost. I use up a lot of them and
AO belts would cost me a fortune and be slower.
