BootRacer: Lightweight Boot Time Measurement Utility

BootRacer measures your computer's boot time, displaying detailed statistics about the boot process. Total boot time and component process startup times are shown.

What is BootRacer?

BootRacer is a free, lightweight utility program designed to measure the boot time of a computer and provide detailed statistics about the boot process. It works by monitoring the system from the moment power is turned on, tracking when key components and services initialize and become active.

Some of the key features and information provided by BootRacer include:

  • Total boot time from power on to fully usable system
  • Breakdown of times for BIOS, bootloader, kernel initialization, services, login promps
  • Detailed timeline showing when each process and service starts during boot
  • Ability to log multiple boot cycles to compare performance
  • Graphs and charts to visualize data
  • Supports both SSDs and HDDs

By showing which components take the longest time during boot, BootRacer helps identify any bottlenecks. Users can then troubleshoot those areas or consider upgrading hardware to reduce overall boot time. The level of detail provided makes it a useful tool for technicians, developers and power users looking to optimize system boot times.
