It depends. For us, it didn't make much difference, as we had enough clearance under the bar to make the low bar crossing in either direction in one smooth move, and the plastic is stiff enough not to fit into the small gaps we present to the ceiling unless you change direction.
I saw a few teams which were a lot closer to not fitting that had to stop and reset midway across, and occasionally they would get a flap caught somewhere that would probably not have happened with the solid fabric and bar. This increased their crossing time. I didn't see any total tortugas as a result of this, but I expect that there have been some, or would have been without robot mods.
