Doing a lot of validation? Not a problem, IMO.
Dealing with big objects? Not a problem, IMO.
Possibly generating errors? Not a problem, IMO - so long as it's
documented.
There's a vague expectation that property access should usually be
"pretty fast", and properties should usually be orthogonal (so changing
one property shouldn't usually change another - unless one is read-only
and solely calculated from others, eg Area from Width and Height).
