svörunartími

Svörunartími is the time interval between a stimulus and the observable response of a system. It is a general term used in several fields to describe how quickly a system reacts to an input or event.

In human factors and psychology, svörunartími refers to reaction time: the duration from the presentation of a sensory cue to the initiation of a voluntary response. In computing and information technology, it denotes the time from a request being issued to the completion of the response, often encompassing network latency and server processing time. In industrial and control contexts, svörunartími may describe how quickly a sensor or actuator responds to a change in a measured variable.

Measurement: In experimental psychology, reaction time is typically measured with precise timestamps and standardized stimuli, reported in milliseconds. In IT, svörunartími is measured with request logs, p90/p99 latency metrics, or end-to-end timings, and may be broken down into network latency, server processing, and application-level delays.

Factors affecting svörunartími include task complexity, cognitive load, user attention, hardware and software performance, network conditions, data size, and caching. Variability (jitter) is also important; engineers report both average and tail latency to assess worst-case performance.
