I hope very much that that CPU isn't running android, though.

I can't clock it, but our current TV seems to take longer to, well, turn on, than the tube tellys of yore.

The TV of my childhood took so long to warm up, you'd be standing there for at least 5 seconds wondering if it had turned on at all before seeing something. Usually it was the click of a relay and the hum of a capacitor soaking up a field that was the real clue.
My current TV takes longer than 5 seconds to turn on, and it's not even smart.
