Large initial extent after import

When importing an export file that was exported using COMPRESS=Y, Oracle creates an inital extent for each table large enough to hold the entire table. For some tables, this initial extent can be quite big.
Questions:
Is there a good reason to want this large extent? Is there a good reason NOT to want this large extent?

Let me know what I want
