Do tack-fused projects require less annealing than full-fusing?

Absolutely not. A tack-fused work has many more edges than a fully fused shape. Annealing is always more easily achieved with a glass body of uniform mass. A small glass sphere (the marble) is the easiest object to anneal. As the number of edges increase, so too does the annealing time.
