As the weight moves rearward the necessary down force needed by the tail is lessened. Granted this force is relatively small, it still ends up being a force that the wing ends up having to "carry".
Sorry, these are only moments around the center of lift. Rearward CG does reduce the tail down force, thus reducing drag, thus faster/further. The wing only has to lift the total weight. The tail down force only moves the center of lift a bit.
