Does anyone know what the units are for TTL and TTFX? I can’t tell how significant those results are. Label your graphs, people!

I guess it is milliseconds based on the names and the results later in the article.

- time-to-first-execution (TTFX)

- time-to-load (TTL)

I think it's actually seconds, which is why this improvement is so important.
Yep, definitely seconds, although it's weird that the numbers are just presented by themselves, without any information about what system specs they're from. The point here is to highlight the relative difference, of course, but it would still be nice to get an idea of where the absolute numbers stand and what kind of machine you need to get these numbers.
