Wow, you must be able to type at hundreds of

2sec for Excel to start. Mostly only a split
second to open the file because I usually
have it running nearly all the time.

But it is faster to feed data into a shell
tool, hit RET and have the result outputted.

And yes, programmers type very quickly indeed.

On a general note, if you care about time (the
perception thereof) you should throw the
computer into a rock wall and be done with it.
