I think the time will be more than recovered when the load lightens. If my work included a significant amount of ground tillage, then that's a whole different story.
It wouldn't be a matter of working slower, it would be a matter of having to adjust the size of ground engaging impliment being used. For the tractor owner who doesn't worry about the power at your disposal to pull the differences are negligible.
