Besides the booting time, is there a remarkable performance difference between Arch and Crux after booting?

I’ve been curious regarding Crux lately, probably I’ll install it on my old netbook, even if the performance after boot difference isn’t that great between arch and crux, I’m pretty sure it will be a good educational experience :)

The Grub menu was present for much longer in the Arch video than the Crux video. If we start the timer after the Grub entry is selected, I count the times closer to
Arch -16s
Crux -9s

Now it’s too bloated :( . Unfortunately, I’m too lazy to move to something else.
