This won't improve loading times. The entire page still has to load, and this mod does not affect that. What it does do is keep the page from appearing to hang when it is "almost" done loading. It appears to hang (in some, not all cases), because the pixel image at the bottom of the page, that calls the cron script doesn't load until the cron script is done running. This mod requests the cron image via JS after the page has been loaded, eliminating the annoying pages that are apparently loaded (visually they are all there), but the loading indicator in the browser says the page is still loading because the cron image is still loading.
