Truth: more yeast just means quicker rise once you get the requisite amount necessary for bread. Sourdough takes longer to rise because it's a mixture of naturally occurring wild yeast and lacto bacteria. Slower rise or longer rise generally means more complex flavor, but let it rise too long and all the sugars will be eaten by the yeast and it will either be too sour or you will end up with overproofed bread.
