In a commentary track on this movie's Blu-ray release, George Lucas stated that ships in the Star Wars universe cannot travel in straight lines while in hyperspace due to collisions with celestial objects. Thus, distance is an important factor in how quickly a ship can get from point A to point B. The Millennium Falcon's superior navigation computer allowed it to travel shorter distances between points, and arrive faster, hence Han Solo's claim that he made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. A parsec being a measurement of distance, rather than time. He simply found a shortcut.
