I guess that might help manage things a bit...
But one of the things I really loved about the YAPC::AU Lightning Talks session (and we had about 2-3 hours of them across two days) was that you could just sign up on the day.
So I think it really encouraged a number of people that wouldn't have otherwise done it, and had seen on the first session how short and easy they were, to go back to the hotel that night.
We had quite a number of talks written in one night, or actually on the day, that were quite amazing.
