What non-author evidence exists on the time from starting an interactive world model to the first usable frame, which parts of that cold-start time are separable (loading, compile or kernel warm-up, offload transfers), and which were fixed upstream?

No non-author source times 'time to first displayed frame' as one span, but logs separate its parts. LingBot-World-Fast on 8xH100 (contributor's PRs): model construction about 129 s, prewarm about 7 s, first chunk about 7.2 s versus about 1.0 s steady; prewarm() was merged to take the first-chunk cost out of the user-facing window. HY-WorldPlay Wan-5B on 4xA100 (user): first four chunks 89-368 s, then about 3.4 s; a maintainer attributes it to torch.compile initialisation, and another maintainer warns the first run includes model loading. Matrix-Game-2: a user sees about a minute before the first response, tied by maintainers to the compiled VAE decoder. Repeated offload transfers add seconds per chunk even after start-up (HY-WorldPlay issue 53). Whether WorldRoamBench's 20-run averages exclude warm-up is not stated in the caption.

Curator qualifications: No non-author time-to-first-frame measurement as one span; logs separate construction (~129 s), prewarm, first chunk. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
