Startup Time



Start a Business. Building your own business from the ground up is an exciting opportunity, but it can also be challenging. Follow the 10 steps from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to starting a business. If you click this column’s header, you can sort the apps by lowest or highest startup time. The time is in milliseconds because that’s the only meaningful unit of time when it comes to a CPU. It goes without saying that an app that used the CPU longer is the high impact app.
