So, I took a look... and the answer is "it's not" (with a small sample
set).  I took dates from Wikipedia for RHEL and the archived release
notes for CentOS.  I didn't bother with the .0 releases (since that's a
lot of new work anyway).  Right now, CentOS 8 is far faster than CentOS
7 and 6 were at this stage.
