I tried this exact scenario and didn't see any difference in load times. I'm using an ad blocker and it's definitely sluggish, but switching to a Chrome user agent made no difference.

It's hard to tell these days when there's so much A/B testing and stuff going on. I haven't run into this at all personally.
