Having waited for ages for a Linux application to load, I suggest a new
unit, the MIPE; Meaningless Indicator of Program Efficiency.

This measures is the product of the CPU use percentage and time taken to
run an application and is so in a unit of %s, which makes it a real
bugger for 'C' programmers to print.

A good, efficient program will have a low MIPE value, as it either loads
rapidly or at least does not use much CPU while it is initialising
itself. A bad program uses all the CPU all of the time, just like some
of these blasted bloat apps we're seeing these days.

I shall now stick myself in a warm bath, calm down, and think of fluffy
bunnies frolicking in clouds until the nice men in white coats come
around with my new long-sleeved jacket.
