We haven't found it to be a problem. Inefficiency can be measured. Is the server load average too high? Is the disk the bottle neck? And, inefficiency can be fixed. If the disk is the bottle neck, write the map to a ram disk. If the load average is too high, it may be there are other contention issues, find them and fix them.
