Testing the speed by going on holiday will reveal more. The adding players in and not adding the leagues actually runs quicker because the detail of the leagues in the background isn’t as high. The down side is while non selected leagues will generate youth players they will not be as active in transfers. So the alternative, or possibly the balance is set the major nations on view only below . It’s also worth noting that should you want to play at a “big club” the player count doesn’t really need to be as high, top level players are a scarcity the higher the number of the players loaded the more poor players will be loaded into the game because well that’s the balance in real life as well. Just basing it off populations of PA, the 160 + brackets growth is negligible between 60000 and 120000 players and certainly not worth it for 40000+. Again there is a caveat, pa is only really the amount of attribute points that can potentially be distributed across a players attributes, some players with lower pa and ca can be more effective because they have higher attributes in significant areas than others. Even though the attributes are weighted for ca, it is not perfectly balanced scale wise. 10 passing for example can still be an effective midfielder at a high level if the physicality is good enough.
