 In [changeset:"44488" 44488]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44488"
 Cron API: Make wp-cron.php non-blocking where possible.

 This should make cron spawning faster by ensuring requests to wp-cron.php
 return immediately regardless of transport method. It is enabled only on
 recent PHP versions with fastcgi, due to historical bugs and availability
 of `fastcgi_finish_request()`. This needs testing on a range of platforms,
 to help determine if it's safe to use in other contexts also.

 Props vnsavage, johnbillion, jnylen0.
 See #18738, #41358
