Who gives a shit even with a 5s difference

At least on arch and on my hardware it is the difference of ~2s and ~8s, launching 4x as fast is substantial.

Still not using it over heroic tho.

I'd get it if it were minutes but i'm just gonna say 8s is hardly long enough to even think about the fact that it's taking 8s.
