Adding more hairstyle options will cause the game to slow down in some way? (Lame excuse alert!)

Can someone clear this up?

Anyway that person is right character creation is nowhere near what people want from what I have seen, whatever that may be. If I haven't seen enough of CC then it is because SE either hiding something great or something rubbish. No I will never be satisfied, doesn't mean they should ever stop trying. FFXIV1.0 CC was insultingly limited.
What I got was that they totally can add more parts but that adding more parts requires larger data packets (more information needs to be sent for the game to display characters - server sends more, player needs more).

And they said while Japan is ok with a larger packet else where may not be, or something like that (not specified where the problem may be, just that some people can have issues displaying characters if the packet is larger and they're not getting it fast enough).
