If the ship moves faster, it can pass closer to gravitational anomalies without danger, thus cutting distance off the trip. I understood this in 1977, and am surprised how many people who consider themselves intelligent can’t wrap their heads around it.
A little off topic: By the act of applying a gender role to a term with a negative connotation, it become a sexist term. (Or am I explaining this too much?)

It is as he explained, he took a short cut. Nothing to do with anything else.
Gweedo drew on him first, then said he will murder him, Han fired in self defense.
