Does load balancing on a linux server improve speed?

Load balancing on a linux server, and load balancing in general generally only improves webpage loading performance during peak demand periods of usage. Once a linux server is at 100% utilization, subsequent web requests will either get queued up or result in a timeout , resulting in a perceptible delay to the end user in terms of webpage load up. Load balancing servers are designed to optimally determine and route requests to the least utilized server out of a group of servers. This will result in a higher probability of experiencing no additional delay in terms of loading the webpage up, leading to an impression that the speed has been "increased", due to a prior bad experience when significant delays were encountered. So the key is that as long as the linux server is not overloaded and the network itself is not experiencing bottleneck problems, the fastest possible webpage load speed will always remain the same.
