In reply to Jamal Abulaila. Not sure my earlier comment is updated or not. I was saying boot time will be reduced if fast startup (partial hibernation and partial shutdown) setting is enabled. Please check boot time by disable of fast startup setting when hibernation is enabled & disabled, number should be same.

In reply to Jamal Abulaila. It might be due to fast boot enabled (partial hibernation and partial shutdown), can you disable and check?

In reply to Naza. hiberfil.sys is created the moment you enable hibernation and it is deleted when you disable hibernation. If you disable hibernation and enable it again, a new hiberfil.sys will be created.

If the hibernation is disabled and then enabled again, will it bring the previous deleted hiberfil.sys back again? Or will it start taking up space from the next hibernation?

The boot time of system will be a way much faster when you are starting your system from hibernation than from a normal boot. My PC boots in 13 seconds when hibernation is enabled and boots in 60 seconds when hibernation is disabled.
I tested that hundreds of times, It is a solid fact.
