yes there are ;-)
have a look at this changeset:
http://forge.typo3.org/repositories/diff/typo3v4-mvc/extbase/trunk/ext_localconf.php?rev=990

if there is an autoloader registered in an extension this autoloader 
will be first in the autoloader stack. The core autoloader which is 
registered some lines later in the installation  process will be second 
in the stack.
If now a call to a core file triggers an autoloader call this call will 
fist hit the extbase autoloader - which fails, after doing some 
expensive convertCamelCaseToLowerCaseUnderscored stuff - and then it 
hits the core autoloader.
This slows down the complete core if extbase is installed, and therefore 
jochen moved the autoloader registration to the dispatcher.
