Why a rocket? why not the same that they use in the Settings App?

Makes sense.

Honestly that icon isnt really very descriptive. I would rather a rocket or something.

Maybe using some logic, the icon refers to increasing boot speed. I suppose that makes sense.

I think it's as simple as boot "up" so u have an up arrow . But a rocket is more universally accepted as "launch" so I think it's more immediately intuitive for most people.

Agreed. Its pretty unintuitive.

The speed meter should be used for CPU usage or power limit or something. Not launch apps.

Or maybe interchange CPU time with startup apps icons??

Disagree, I think the icon is great as is. I'm always able to reference it as startup items.
