Global catalog is first server at the first time of
installation, it contain complete information of own domain
and partial information of other domain. yes ofcourse, if
you have mutisite enviourment and user located in differnet
site and using low wan bandwidth, using another Global
catalog server, you can increase the login time and also
save the bandwidth, but it create the load on the
replication,so be care of it.
