I looked into this a few weeks ago, what I took away from it was that the performance gains are pretty slim.
It ended up being a giant pain in the tits to set up anyway so I didn't bother.
Let us know how you get on though, I might be tempted to make the switch if I could shave a few seconds off my boot time.
