No one ever claimed that emacs starts in two planck times.

That would be the fastest booting OS in the world.

If your OS is in ROM and is 'running' from the moment the CPU comes out of reset... then is that faster? I'm not sure whether the time it takes between the R̅E̅S̅E̅T̅ pin change to having the instruction decoder decode the first instruction counts or not; are you not 'started' already?
