Based on your premises, don't you mean the opposite of everything you just said?
If people are frozen we can take as much time as we need. If they age and die then we have an incentive to work faster. (Although if you do the math, the current world population is insignificant compared to the potential future of humanity, so cautiousness should win out either way.)
