It's all relative. Just because it might work for some people for specific projects of a given complexity and size, it doesn't mean that it will work for others. As long as your projects don't get too crazy / big, you should be fine ( by "fine" I mean that compilation times won't take ages... the notebook will surely not `explode` if you happen to throw something bigger at it ). You could download some open-source projects ( something that would mimic the potential size and complexity of the projects you'll be working on ) and try compiling them... it's up to you to decide if the resulting compile times are good enough for you or not.
PS: In case you like using the visual editor a lot to drag stuff around ( build your layout in a visual manner ), then again, playing around with an open source project that is close in complexity and size to whatever you plan on doing, will most likely give you a good enough idea about how things will handle. E.g.: with many and quite big visual elements, the visual editor might become choppy or it might take it quite a while to compose and render the layout for you ( this is not a concern if you build your apps mainly in code, then you'll mainly care about compile times ).
