I'm pretty sure there is a time loss. You can test it for yourself on a dummy or something. Use another gcd and then press the macro when the gcd is 1/4 away from being usable again. Just tap it once. If it doesn't execute then the queue system isn't being used.

I have 300 ping and I've been trying to understand how the gcd queues works as a dps a couple weeks ago on a dummy and I find that..ngcd also queues up when not macro'd. I hit a gcd with a long animation and mash a ngcd to see the fastest time the gcd's animation will be cancelled into the ngcd. Then I try using them again the same way but not mashing: hitting the gcd and then hitting ngcd immediately after, way before the gcd animation can be skipped and the ngcd is used right at the same time as when I wasn't mashing it out. I might also be seeing things but I think I saw leg sweep being 'queue-able' before the cooldown up is up and the icon flashed (I hit the sweep with just a sliver on the clock and it came out anyway). Could be my imagination.

So, like, I'm not entirely sure on the math and stuff but with my latency,using macros even on ngcds for weaving them in might be risky enough to slow me down over time.
