That's assuming that booting is CPU-bound. However I am fairly confident that for over 90% of people it is IO-bound in which case throwing more CPUs at the problem won't make it go any faster (might even be slower).
And for reference I have compared sequential vs. parallel on rotating disks and SSD for myself. And there was almost no difference in boot time between both (only significant speedup was from replacing the rotating disk by the SSD).
