Soaking seed, faster sprouting?

Soaking seeds, never have. In your experience how much time is saved, how many days earlier do they sprout? Thanks

I soak peas and beans overnight.

they are sprouted and up second, max third day - presuming the soil has warmed - 65'F min.

Dillbert greetings, Given the same treatment, minus the soaking, how long would you expect them to take.

if well watered and warm (70'F+) soil - a week, +/-
