The more relays you use, the slower operations like posting, liking, following, etc., might get. However, using a dozen or so relays doesn't actually slow things down that much, haha.
The main issue lies in the fact that people who follow you are unlikely to use all of your write relays to query your events. Since they follow many other people as well, most of the time, only the first few relays are meaningful.
