Many pages were a problem when your permalink structure was a plain /%postname%/, because that is the same structure the post type page is using. Very complex additional rewrite rules were stored in the database to avoid collisions.
This is not a problem anymore. If your permalink structure is the same for posts and pages, posts are queried first (I hope I get this right :)).
