As long as you still have a decent window for revisions, and a long enough lead time for marketing, there's not really a downside. More frequent publication helps build the career of a new writer, because if the interval is too long readers will forget who you are and whether or not they liked your first book.
Publication date changes are irksome when they come close to the release date, upsetting marketing plans that you (and your publisher) may have made, potentially confusing the sales force and the book store buyers.
