  scruss said  How often do you reboot? I'm more used to keeping the thing going than boot times, so I like the 5x speedup from the Zero.


It's not an issue for me personally (usually--today I've been running something on a pi zero w which requires rebooting when I encounter an error--several dozen reboots today (but that's not why I asked the question)).

My question was to find out the extent to which the Pi Zero 2 W might resolve the issue for those who want their MMBasic to be "instant on" like the CMM2. I didn't expect it to reach that speed, but 17 seconds wouldn't seem too intolerable to me (nor, to me, would 23 seconds).
