It matters about as much as the size of an engine does.
This engine (built in 1915) weighs in at a bit over 3 tons and produces a maximum of 15 HP at 450 RPM. I prefer to see / hear it idling at about 90 RPM.
What matters to the loudspeaker driver is how strong the magnetic field is in the gap as well as how much volume that gap has that can be filled with VC.
Even then, the ideal amount is set by the low corner and box volume.
