If it is supposed that the user will actually _notice_ (and appreciate) the difference, then it should really be measurable as a difference in real time. So script the application to exit as soon as it starts and then do the measurement. (After a reboot, of course.) For application which cannot be scripted to exit, use a trained monkey, real (your son?) or virtual (expect). In this case, you really should do multiple measurements. The number of measurements depends on the spread of the monkey's reaction time. (Make it so that the mean-root-square error is significantly smaller than the mean value of the measured difference.)
