I haven't heard anyone besides mchurch cite number of CLs as a productivity measure. Lines of code sometimes, but not CLs. Sometimes it's just not worth it to break a large, cross-cutting change up into small chunks.
That said I do vastly prefer smaller CLs because the review process goes so much better.

Thanks for the clarification.
(Also, you just made CLs sound like yet another metric that can be gamed by the appropriately cynical employee. Ouch.)
