It is how fast the FC goes through the pid loop or code. Let's say you set your looptime to 1khz. This means that your FC will read the gyro data, calculate a new setpoint error and send a new command to the escs 1000 times per second. Or you can say that it will take the FC 1000micro seconds to go trough one cycle
