Timesaving vs. Time — What's the Difference?

Serving to save time through an efficient method or a shorter route; expeditious.

Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.

That reduces the time needed to perform a task, especially by using a shorter route or a more efficient method.
