nailed it.
a second is a very long (noticeable) time and as a user i don't really care, i want it fast and consistent.
- dale_glass 3y agoAnd very short for a big thing you load once. Back in the day plenty things like Photoshop had splash screens, and you got to stare at them for quite a while.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoExcept we're not talking about loading something big like Photoshop. We're talking about starting the modern versions of system Notepad or Calculator. The big stuff like Photoshop loads roughly as long as it did before. This is a good indicator of how bad most software is - if applications like Photoshop followed the same performance/feature curve, they'd take hours to start.
- dale_glass 3y agoI was talking about Chromium starting in a second or less. That's the open version of Google Chrome. It's a big application by any reasonable standard, and not something you start often either.
