Is this a case where cracking the lines at the injectors would let the

Won't make a difference. If you loosened all of the glow plugs so the
engine cranked REALLY fast, that would speed up the priming, but that's
NOT really practical. Just run the engine to be sure the injection pump
reservoir is full, then shut down pull the old filter and FILL the new
filter. Then the engine will usually start quite quickly and while it
may stumble a bit, it usually won't shut down if you hold the pedal down
a bit.
