Last time I tried it it was a resource hog and generally slow.

"Safe" in what way? I'm guessing the downloaded packages are still 
authenticated by apt, therefor it's probably not possible to get munged 
packages.

OTOH you open your system for others to download packages so the same 
issues as other peer-to-peer systems apply.
