There might be some savings to be had with some sort of local package cache over 10GiB Ethernet.
40Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.

It's fast, but you are only installing
base,linuxandgrub.base-develshould also be there, since it's assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you'd want to build with makepkg.But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.
25I disagree, making your own packages is nice, but it's not like it's needed. I know multiple people who don't touch the AUR or custom pkgbuilds at all
19I know. It's not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.

no networkmanager?
4networkmanager is for chumps, long live dhcpcd

This would be interesting if it was Gentoo.
10I don't quite understand the point of these speedruns since there's usually not a defined end target and there are so many variables which are not under the user/installer's control, like disk, processing speed
7Time for systemd-speedrun to standardise this
20Good lord. Dead it, run from it, systemd still arrives

It's defined right there in the title. First keypress to login prompt.
4I feel like it's mostly shitposting but soon enough there will be a more formal competition. Possibly with a standardized VM and local package cache.
2Yeah it really needs to be a target decided by someone else and not announced ahead of time.

It takes a while but I'm surprised the WR would be nearly 72 minutes.
4I thought that was honestly the joke.
6There's only like 10 minutes of actually typing commands.
Without watching this, the premise sounds very stupid.
