Agreed, this should speed up the loading time of layers without metadata (probably postgresql views mainly in your case)
If your need is to access some layers only, I recommend the menu_layers_from_project plugin. It will only parse the xml but not load the data until you choose to import some layers into a session. I also experienced that lowering the network timeout can speed up ogc webservice layers when the service is not responding.
