I think during formation of frost only a part of latent heat is absorbed by the evaporator coils during frosting which will finally effect the overall heat transfer results in increasing the compressor effort.

Once the frost is formed, it doesn't need to get form again, frost is stucked on coils, soair directly comes out cooling pad.

Due to frost the system runs continuously. So increase the power consumption.

Because due to frosting the heat transfer may be decreased in evaporator. So it takes more time to reach the cooling. It may increase the running cost of compressor.
