If "more packages in repo" degrades install time, even when the client doesnt even need the extra packages... there's a problem in efficiency of IPS mechanisms somewhere.
More packages in the repository will cause a small increase in planning time because there are more possible versions to evaluate, I don't see how that's avoidable. With that said, only for repositories with 70,000+ unique package versions has that difference started to be noticeable in the past and only at 100,000+ was it "significant".
On my (several years old) x86 system, it takes less than 30 seconds to plan an update operation when configured with a combination of repositories with 120,000+ unique package versions.
