Has anyone tried booster to replace mkinitcpio? (lemmy.ml)

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.

mkinitcpio takes around 2-3 minites to run on my machine, booster should be faster right?
