I love the attention paid to this. Often opportunities to prioritise seemingly small efficiency gains are neglected.

At 10 seconds per command, an engineer that uses git status 50 times per day spends ~10 minutes per day waiting; an entire work week per year!! Well above the threshold warranting optimisation, and that doesn't even factor in distractions and context switching.
