Depends on lots of things you are not controlling for, e.g., amount of static data to be zeroed.

On Debian 11, Linux will start one of my Rust programs, output the help screen, and exit in 2 ms. I am not writing to the console, but diverting STDOUT to /dev/null. This was a cold start on a fresh boot, so nothing was likely cached in RAM.
