Because the MWD boosts your (cloaked) speed by 500% for one cycle while you are cloaked you will end up at right around warp speed when you deactivate the cloak (right before the MWD cycle is complete.)  Since you hit align before the cloak you will be aligned and at warp speed when the cloak drops.  This equals near insta-warp.  Verily, if you practice this you can be uncloaked for literally less than a second total on a gate.  Practice in high-sec and you will find this is actually pretty easy and effective.

There are numerous videos of this technique posted on Youtube. These two videos provide clear demonstrations of the technique:<br><br>

You can use the same mwd trick to accelerate a big ship (say an orca or rorqual) to warp speed without the cloak involved.  Align, pulse the MWD ONCE (and once only, just click it twice in a row) and warp in 10 seconds instead of 30.  You could do the cloak thing, but you'll have to see the specifics on how to time dropping the cloak and it may require more time uncloaked at the end of the MWD cycle to get to just the right speed.  The cloak trick requires a tad more practice but makes annoying acceleration waits *slightly* less annoying and a little safer.
