My opinion (for what it's worth) is that it's better to balance charge every time. As said it will only be slower when actually making the balancing adjustment, so if you do it every time, the adjustment, if any, will add no time at all really. If you don't do it every time, this adjustment may stack up and then when you do ballance charge it could potentially take considerably longer. Plus, why risk anything for the sake of a few mins.
I've read that good quality lipo's don't need balancing very often, but you never know if something may have gone wrong with the pack, so it's a good safety net.
