Okay, I heard that runit init system is pretty fast. But was not ready for it...

Void Linux + Sway + TUIGreet. From decrypting LUKS to login screen (according to dmesg) - 0.8 seconds.
From pushing the button to login screen (excluding GRUB menu and typing in LUKS password) - just about 7 seconds.

Wild. Just wild.

@leniwcowaty OpenRC will do about the same with some the rcparallel option on and a few priority tweaks. I was getting sub 20s cold to login on spindle drives back in the early 2010s (that took some fancy unionfs tricks but only to get everything read without thrashing).
