When comparing a CMA-based player to a server-side AI player, yes.
It wasn't clear that this was the comparison you meant.
When comparing to a human player - which seems more obvious given
the limited power of the CMAs - it's not at all clear that the number
of packets will increase much.  And for the number of additional packets
added to support the CMA technique in the first place, Raimar has provided
evidence that this is actually quite a small increase.
