Okay, independent study results are in and........

Heating the bed up from 24°C to 80°C without a sheet of foil on top takes 10 minutes and 5 seconds.

Heating the bed up from 24°C to 80°C with a sheet of foil on top takes 9 minutes and 38 seconds.

That's a whopping 27 seconds saved....in other words, not worth bothering with.

Heating the bed up from 24°C to 80°C with a folded dark colored towel on top takes 10 minutes even.
