On page load (that is, when WP actually runs), WP fires off a non-blocking HTTP request to itself. This runs at maximum once per minute, and shouldn't actually run if you're using Super Cache or similar and hit a cache page.

It's non-blocking on the page load, but it still ties up an additional PHP instance.
