Does 14 boot significantly faster than 13.2?

I do run of currently an CURRENT with NODEBUG i cant see a direct difference. While 12 to 13 was/is a big difference.

But it also depends on disk speed and how fast your devices reacts etc...

I have an USB mouse for example that dont respond correct on the first try and slows down the boot for 2 sec.
 
Define "significantly".
Is 10 secs faster significant to you?
Everyone would agree that 1 minute is significant but under that? Everyone has their own tolerance.

I apologize for asking but I’m unable to make a direct comparison myself at this time.

Historically, all FreeBSD kernel modules needed to be loaded by loader() before the system booted, but that comes with a price, boot time is much slower if all modules are loaded this way, as it forces them to be loaded sequentially rather than in parallel. So, the more you "throw" on /boot/loader.conf the slower the boot process is. Keep only what is needed in boot/loader.conf and for the rest use kld_list (/etc/rc.conf) which by the way can load them in parallel after the base system is already up.
 
Faster boot that is sometimes incorrect or slower boot that is correct 100% of the time. That is a tradeoff one has to accept.
Me personally, I'll take slower boot that is correct 100% of the time.
