for context:

more pattern result in slower generation of the format (in pdftex a bit 
slower as there the utf is to be interpreted); this might also lead to 
slower loading of the (then bigger) format (depends how well the OS 
cached files for succesive runs)

in mkiv patterns are loaded on demand; even loading all patterns in 
luatex is no big deal as it uses a different representation
