iOS 10 running on my iPhone 6S Plus is currently booting in about 5 seconds. Not sure how though...

Also that's when I hold down the home and lock buttons, in order to force-reboot. Perhaps now that doesn't fully reboot the phone.

I was curious so I benchmarked "decrypting" kernelcache.release.n66 on an iPhone 6S and it took about 60 milliseconds to decrypt. It wasn't encrypted in the first place so the decryption results in garbage, but it should be a valid benchmark. The quick boot time with iOS 10 sure is nice, but it isn't because the kernel isn't encrypted.

Have you tried powering down (Hold down Lock Button). And then Powering up?
