Meta data is a concern. But the major part of the meta data is file data
and change logs. Everything else is less than 10%. So doubling or even
tripling this part won't hurt.
What about performance? I don't have any figures, but my feeling was
that TeX seemed to update awfully slowly after it was split into many
small packages.
