Hi,
there are several possibilities to track visits with piwik, including JS-tracker, image-tracker, PHP-tracker, server-log-tracking...
The request you are mentioning is the actual tracking-request. You don't have to worry of long request times because this request is done asynchronously, this means it is loaded after the website itself and doesn't contribute to to load-time.
