Booting without plymouth is faster. Once kernel has booted a small amount of time is saved additionally by not needing to display fancy graphics.
Ironically, booting with splash on can be faster for some hw/drivers. On vesafb where scrolling init messages usually mean a full repaint, they can be much more of a penalty than updating a measly progress bar bbox. :)
If you would have tried it, you would have noticed, that with the current default, but plymouth uninstalled, there is no scrolling init messages. There is not any output at all apart from kernel error messages. Default setting is "quiet" on the kernel command line. Even without "quiet", systemd is not putting out lots of information, only one line per service, so you will hardly notice lots of scrolling with vesafb (well, maybe if you have 640x400 vesafb mode, but there scrolling should be reasonably fast again).
