Spiraling in, even without a predrilled hole there is much easier on the spindle and tool than a straight line ramp, because like Andy said you are only loading one side of the cutting tool and not cutting the full tool width. A full tool width cut is much more limited as far as maximum depth per pass than a cut that is only engaging a percentage of the tool.

If possible to convince CAM module in CAD software I could also plunge into a hole with a diameter 2mm less than mill.
