What's means the total time consumption

Hello, community friends!

I’ve been searching for information about user experience, but I couldn’t find what the following means: "Total time consumption." This appears in both XHR and page load metrics.
What is this total time consumption referring to?

It is a metric that takes the Key Performance Metric numbers x actions per minute volume. It is designed to help bubble up the slow actions that have the most impact on users.

If you just do slowest actions descending, you're probably going to get a fair amount of low volume actions where a handful of users may be skewing things. And if you try to sort by most common actions to see what has the biggest impact, you'd have to scroll down to find all the slow actions. Total Time Consumption is meant to help bubble those up to understand where the most users are encountering slow performance.

In addition to what Tyler mentioned, time consumed is the user action duration.
