 gets loaded...

 No, it does "head" AJAX request that is asynchronous (doesn't stop the
 execution of the rest of the scripts) and additionally has a timeout of
 10ms (0.01 sec.) so the browser doesn't wait for returned content.
 "wp_footer" would have been a good place for it too, however many themes
 don't have the wp_footer() call.

 Also many hosts seem to give access to the "real" cron through their
 control panels. The changes to wp-cron make it easier to run it from
 crontab as a scheduled task either through wget, lynx or CLI if available.
