Does this give any real world value for boot times or anything else?

I have no possibility to test this in VM so that's why I'm asking if anybody has actually tried this and found benefits.

boot time difference feels like in the realm of margin of error
the biggest difference however is that booster builds the initramfs much much faster while mkinitcpio slows down every kernel upgrade espcially on slower laptop cpus
