gollark: Well, "work"space.
gollark: And I think my reboot-time metric is tracking "time from power on to working desktop", not "time to full workspace starting up", which is more like... 40 seconds?
gollark: Firefox doesn't actually pull down the latest tab contents on every startup though, that would be silly.
gollark: Yes, it's pretty fast.
gollark: I can't really get the time needed for a reboot below about 25 seconds, so I don't like to reboot often.]
