It's not just about loading time. If the homepage loads, the focus leaves the URL bar, so you cannot start typing another URL right away.

Yeah, exactly. I didn't like this feature when I first made the switch from Galeon to Firebird, but now I really like it because I don't have to delete the homepage URL before I start typing in a new URL.I put my "new tab" icon next to the "home" icon on the tool bar, which makes it easy to get a home page when I do want one.
