My bullshit detector had absolutely zero lag when I started reading this
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2096335262/zhero-rear-bicycle-hub-zero-lag

From the description, it seems that they want AU$155,000 to start making Shimano Silent Clutch freehubs

What's the benefit? Is it similar 'result' to trials hubs with loads of engagement?

Will it make me any faster? If so, where can I get one? :)

There isn't one. Fast engagement is good for trials, where gearing is about 1:1 and wasted movement can actually affect your move, but for everybody else it's not necessary.
