My experience is different. At home - it's no problem with a floor pump, whether it's a low, or high volume tyre.
On the road, with a small carry pump, I find it easier not having to pump to a high pressure. Same goes for using pumps at petrol stations - many have problems pumping to over 3-4 bars.
