I have not been in the role as "performance advisor / investigator" since back 
in
my days on the S/38. I would assume that the AS/400 behaves very similarly.
I remember attending sessions at COMMON where we were told that the
number of libraries in the library list is a factor for performance. We were
told that the higher up in the list an object was found, the better the 
performance.
If a majority of your objects were found within the first couple of libraries, 
you
wouldn't see any degradation. Because of this, I've always been more concerned
about the organization of the library list rather than the length.
