Impressive improvement, but is mobile app startup time that important after a certain threshold? I'm not a mobile dev.

If the flame graph extends over the entire startup time, then I'd estimate it to be around 600-700ms (wish they gave the numbers rather than the percentage) which already sounds very nice as a user. If it was like 5 seconds then it would be amazing.

Furthermore, I'm assuming that this only affects when the app is initially started instead of when it is already running in the background or navigating between screens, which is why I feel the linked article on why latency matters in tfa doesn't really support it.

I'm curious about what metrics mobile developers use to prioritize tasks.
