Not really. What's much faster is the wraparound protection vacuum which is a special more thorough vacuum that runs at a configured interval which defaults to every 200M transactions against a database.

Only that one is sped up to now run roughly at the same speed as the normal vacuum

It looked to me that the freeze map allowed vacuum to skip pages not touched since last run, so avoiding a lot of work between runs.
That's not new though - the visibility map has done so for years (8.4 IIRC).
