And comparing just the first load up when you turn your PC on...

Having steam load on startup means it's not even a problem that needs boasting about being quicker on.

Yeah fuckin' seriously. On a fresh boot, I get up from my computer to piss or grab a drink or something. Who is sitting at their computer counting seconds from when they hit the power button to having a usable storefront open? Shit, my computer takes longer to POST than the rest of the startup sequence including launching Steam, I couldn't care less if Epic launches one second quicker if not just the audience but the fucking library are still a piece of shit that lag just from scrolling down...

Even the claimed 5 seconds faster at launch means nothing. And nobody including people modding Bethesda games is going to really notice a less than .2s difference in launch timing
