Processing time
Processing time is the length of time that it takes for a software system to process a particular request, without including any time where messages are traveling across the network (latency). Sometimes a distinction is made between server processing time and client processing time.
A variety of things can affect processing time, such as how the application code is written, the external software that works in conjunction with the application, and the characteristics of the hardware that is performing the processing.
