that's like... 2-3 seconds from power on, to our firmware running (showing the splash screen is the first thing we do)
then a couple more seconds to have an actually usable device (we can improve that second gap i think; haven't looked much into it yet)
the number one issue with 'more powerful' SoCs people have yelled at me is that most of them are still fucking around in u-boot or whatever by this point.
our esp32 boots fast enough that, when you're not actively using your device, we can just turn the whole thing off. so long as we restore your playlist and such when we boot back up, it's fine. it's not too annoying.
if your boot time is... what, 10 seconds? 20? then at some point you cross the "this is really annoying" threshold, and you can't do that anymore.
