No, not really. Too loose and you'll notice slack/surge when taking up the throttle. Too tight is bad though. Can cause all sorts of woes and breakages.

One thing to consider is how old your chain is? Even adjusted correctly, an old knackered chain will cause sloppy take up of drive because of the small amount play at each roller/plate. A 110 tiny bits of play makes one hell of a big lot of slack when you take up drive!
