It rapidly speeds up the replication of DNA. It doesn't act as a catalyst, a catalyst speeds fo a chemical reaction. This is necessary in eukaryotic DNA, because the eukaryotic genome is huge. If there was only one fork going on at one time, the DNA replication may take days or weeks. But since you have dozens or hundreds of forks, all replicating at the same time, then it can be completed in a couple hours.

If you have multiple replication forks, replication can be occurring in more places all the same time. Therefore, the more forks, the faster the replication.

It acts as a catalyst and speeds up there replication.
