You are right, there should not be much difference with regular cover sizes. This option becomes really useful when cover images are big (400x400 or bigger). Generating thumbnails from covers that big can be really slow. But with this option checked, OrangeCD maintains a set of smaller covers inside the database, and it makes thumbnailing fast even with huge covers.
