Since the raft generally consists of long line segments, increasing the jerk rate normally has very little impact on printing time. Increasing the jerk rate will save a bit of time when going through corners at the end of the lines though.

Increasing the jerk rate will cause the printer to vibrate more while printing the middle <!--if cura_version<5.0:layer--><!--if cura_version>=5.0-->layers<!--endif--> of the raft. This slightly increases the risk of pulling the raft off of the build plate.
