No. `pacman-mirrors -f N` always ranks by response time but before the actual ranking, the mirrors are sorted so it will be the first **n** mirrors which are uptodate which are actually probed, not mirrors which is not uptodate

There is a little overhead because it always checks if network is online. Doing so by pinging google with 3 packets.
The smaller number you choose to write to the mirrorlist will increase the possibility of not getting a responsive mirror since only the first **n** in the list are tested not all of them.
A reasonable number is between 5 and 10.

If you need a complete ranking then `pacman-mirrors -g` is the way to go.
