That's fair - I wouldn't recommend using global describes in production-level code, typically (as I'm aware of the horrible performance); I thought this was just a helper method to be invoked on occasion in Anonymous Apex. If you're using globalDescribe to dynamically retrieve UI elements based on field names, or something, I definitely agree that it should be avoided like the plague due to the general slowness.
