i don't use CtrBm9 as boot menu every time, it's my backup feature, it will only load when pressed Select when i power on, and having the animation first, would require me everytime i want to acces decrypt or what ever to first wait for the animation to finish before i have to press select, which makes it a delay between power and select, while powering on with select already pressed will now load BootCtr9, the animation is not that much of a gain to make it worth waiting for the select press, if that makes sense.
Yeah, I load it very seldom myself. That's why I wouldn't mind if I had to wait 4 seconds or whatever. But there is if I'm not mistaken also a way to just skip past the animation... R maybe? Can't see anything about it on the first page but I'm sure there was an update that made that possible.
