Mining time can actually be incredibly low in some cases. With a max efficiency enchanted diamond pickaxe, for example, you can practically swim through netherrack. With the optimization you suggest they would be noticeable lag.

Etho does something he calls speed mining. This involves max enchanted picks (efficiencyV), and beacons set to hasteII and speedII It's very fast. And leaves a lot of entities around.
