It would naturally take longer to get the oil back up to temperature, but the
thing is that with more oil you don't get as big a plunge in temperature when
you out stuff in it. If the temperature is dropping too much you are putting in
too much food for the amount of oil. Lower oil temperature means greasier
food.
