| Scenario | Typical Performance | Bottleneck Source | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | < 50ms (Instantaneous) | CPU/GPU trivial; animation duration is the limiting factor. | | Heavy Web Browser (50+ Tabs) | 500ms – 2.5s | RAM reallocation; Recalculating DOM layout; GPU texture upload. | | Video Editor / IDE (VS Code) | 1.0s – 3.0s | Heavy Disk I/O; Restoring thousands of UI elements; Hardware acceleration re-initialization. | | Virtual Machine | 2.0s – 5.0s+ | Hypervisor overhead; VRAM reallocation; Guest OS scheduler latency. | restore minimized window
