I regularly use 8 desktops.. Desktops shouldn't have any real overhead, since a "desktop" is just a group of windows which are shown when a certain desktop is selected.. The only real cost is switching desktops, since all the apps on that desktop that you switch to need to be redrawn.. So basically having more desktops with less apps each would be cheaper than to have less desktops with more apps each - at least on desktop switches...
