Well you might care to try what I do, then - only rolling for location when it's a major wound* (or equivalent) - which feels fine to me, and works well (with a sub-table of wounds relevant to each location). The players seem to like it, because when I innocently ask "Location?" they know they've probably felled the monster.
(* and on rarer occasions it's significant, like net-entanglement, grappling, wildly inconsistent armour, splats of green slime... )

Having now seen it, I agree the Major Wound Chart isn't much use as a hit location chart. But since you didn't invent it, I hope you won't be too offended if I come up with an alternative, that combines both functions...
