speed
a metric for human performance. How quickly does a person react to a stimulus (reaction time)? How much time does it take for someone to perform a given task (task completion time)?
Also, a metric for system performance. How quickly does a system respond to user input (responsiveness)? How quickly can it process a given algorithm? How does its speed relate to the number of users or the amount of data to process (scalability)?
