Did anyone try this? I saw a couple of guys mentioning this at Anandtech so I was curious if anyone here already tried it.

Sounds great! Anyone willing to try this one out and measure the difference in boot time? 
Edit: Hmm if I search in google for "bootloader" it always displays comments of a guy called void. Nobody else seems to try this one out :/
And it says that the software is in beta state and because of this will only work for a limited amount of time. Will my system stop to work after that or what?

"This is a BETA version of the software product named "Boot Cooler". It will
expire on June 14, 2010."
It basically means the app will stop accelerating your boot via the prefetch.bin it creates during setup. I strongly doubt it will have any impact on the running or stability of the machine. I'm testing it now, didn't see any improvement in the first two boots (and actually, the second boot saw SIGNIFICANT hdd thrashing... even on my SpinPoint F1) I'll keep trying it and let you know.
