Depends.

In daily application development I find it to not be a problem, even  
if it takes a few seconds to load or save a single large package.

Where it becomes an issue is if you have multiple packages that you  
frequently need to update, which can take many minutes. This happens  
if you collaborate in a larger project (ask the Sophie team) or try to  
maintain a whole image (ask the 3.9 guys). There are workarounds (like  
in Tweak we introduced MC configuration maps that can load server- 
generated incremental packages) but they're not well-established.
