Small-time? (6)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5,4

minute

I believe this is a double definition.

'small' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'time?' is the second definition.
(sixty seconds)

(Other definitions for minute that I've seen before include "Precise" , "Tiny; written note" , "barely noticeable?" , "Little -- 60 18 across" , "Tiny - proportion of time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
