Sometimes the 'loop of shame' can actually reach the station faster than a conventional approach. Several times I have been 100's of Ls behind my wingmate, deliberately overshot the mark, turned around and still beat him to the drop. Parking up in the station well before he has even entered the instance. Me having been behind him in SC. It seems to occur when there is a long run in to the target (not close to the sun), and the slowing down, whilst watching the counter decrease, can take a long, long time. Also, this is a great tactic for evading NPC's that want your tasty cargo. Overshoot, turn around and they are now facing you and cannot interdict while you make your final descent to the station.

Don't think of it as a Loop of Shame, think of it as practice for avoiding interdictions lurking near the station approaches. 
I don't have a 75% key bound as the second detent on my hotas throttle was just about perfect, a couple of my newer ships run at about 5 seconds to go with the throttle there so I might have to consider it.
