I use cruise control all the time and have no issues.

Not sure about what your saying about the spring... To release the compression off the spring I remember depressing the pedal about half way. So that would mean the spring only exerts force when the pedal is in it's highest engaged postion. Not when your stopped in traffic pushing on the clutch. It's been a while since I did this so maybe I remember it wrong.
For me the spring mod helped didnt help with the throw but more the release of the pedal. when shifting in 1&2 gears it would "pop" back making it difficult for a smooth take off and secondary shift. im not always trying to drive it like i stole it so the OEM spring made me feel like i was 16 again learning to drive clutch...
