My kiddo in a trailer was a lot of work to tow. Two or four gears down from normal pace. It's not the weight so much, it's the added rolling resistance and aerodynamics. I've started using a rear mounted seat and it's not nearly so difficult.
Also, at risk of opening a can of worms, in my town, a bike trailer with no kids is usually being towed by a homeless person.
