Weight is weight, whether you carry it on the bike or on yourself, you've still gotta lug it up the hills just the same.
I can see if you carry a courier bag and put everything in it, then there's no additional pull on your clothing. All I ever carry in my jersey pockets (left to right) is garbage (wrappers and pages of cue sheets), spare water bottle, and a bandana I use to mop my brow.
