I just tested it and unsurprisingly (it runs almost exactly the same
code) it took the same time to the second. 

As discussed there are lots of things to make the boot faster
(although most of them reduce flexibility in some way). Someone just
has to find some time to test them and decide which are generic enough
for inclusion for all and which need to be reserved for a 'fast boot'
image.
