This is normally what matters for users in normal use. Quick responses and fast load times, switching between applications etc. There are few computer users that run applications with tasks that last for a long time. But if they do that then they don’t sit and wait, they are probably surfing or doing something else while the application that needs time is doing its work.
I don’t know about you but if I am extracting some big file from some compressed format and that takes ten minutes. I don’t sit and wait for that. I do other tasks.
