Comment (by nacin):

 It might speed up the process, but it would stop the prevention of
 multiple blocking requests if request hangs, as the comment says. This
 isn't a change we can make.

 You should cache your own API call within your own transient, or just non-
 persistently cache it, that way you aren't doing the exact same request
 multiple times on the same page. Maybe in the future we might also
 introduce better hooks here.
