Well, yes, due to the tunnel encapsulation you have less MTU headroom so you move less data in each packet so you need more packets to transfer the same amount of data (assuming the data is larger than the packet size).
It has not been noticeable. I just hit up the Google and Facebook IPv6 sites from time to time. No online backup or SCP transfers.
