Yes, from my understanding of the research I have been doing, the more contact points means the finer the teeth can be, meaning the quicker the engagement. This post: How many pawls do most quality hubs have? and this webpage: https://dirtmountainbike.com/feature...ehub-body.html

I also read somewhere that most 6 pawl systems have 3 pawls in what is called a "constant engagement" position. So they engage must faster, as per the technology behind a "constant engagement" i'm not quite sure. But more pawls = more engagement points = quicker engagement. This is just my understanding and I may be wrong. On that website I linked, they mention the Halo Supadrive. It has 3 pawls, but each pawl has like ~50 or so teeth. So it has ~120 engagement points, making for an almost instant engagement. Again, this is all from stuff I have searched and pieced together.
