Nope, it can take a number of seconds to write the image.

Another simpler option is to make the ROM copy itself into RAM and run
from there. Some of the HALs already support this for apps, but has it
been tested for redboot? It also means you can then overwrite the
redboot image in FLASH while its running the copy in RAM. With the app
and the boot loader becoming closer tied together its becoming more
important to be able to upgrade the bootloader in the field as well as
the application.
