What engine "Load" is it when cranking or starting the engine?

This might be a dumb question but, regarding the Low, Medium, & High "Load" tables under parameters what load would it be when you are first starting/cranking the engine?

I was unsure if it would be considered High Load because the engine is just starting or would it be considered a Low Load since the car is stationary & not moving.

It is low load as there is no load on the engine.

somewhat on topic, what determines the definitive difference between low/high load, and low/medium/high load in the compensation tables? Seeking a specific measurement unit and value

The reason I was asking about this was because on my tune it was way too rich in some spots. When the temperature outside
was very hot & I shut the car off it had trouble starting because the map was so rich.

I readjusted my map accordingly & have not had a start up issue since.

Thanks
