Till you're going somewhere busy and center asks why you're going so slow. At this point it's either 1) Speed up because you're screwing up flow into the airport or 2) Vectors off course/Ait change because you're screwing up flow into the airport.
Not sure what you're point is.
Go slow if it's more efficient until you need to not go slow. It's not that hard. The fuel you saved while you were riding the wind is worth it. Pick it up when you need to for the flow.
