If anything, I would expect a performance gain. The previous way fired events in such a way that the slider set the time on the time manager and then the time manager tick event set the time on the playback control and the slider to the same time it was set originally. This way, the OL control is changed directly and then the playback control reacts to that change. The event cascade was designed to work best in this direction.
