My house is tight. Drying is not an issue for too much humidity. I think the quality of the spin cycle is overlooked. On thick items I spin a second time and things dry a lot faster.

If you're in a tight, energy efficient house, passive drying in the house can create moisture/mold issues (depending on how much laundry you have). Leaky houses, on the other hand, tend to get very dry in the winter and hanging laundry might be a good passive humidifier. But it's usually better to tighten up the house.
