Spacewalk creates snapshots when a system's package manifest changes. You can find it under the provisioning tab for a profile. You can rollback to a previous snapshot if needed. I'd recommend using that feature rather than system profiles.
I don't think having hundreds of saved profiles will hurt you much on performance, but from a management perspective snapshots would likely be easier.
