Your comment confused me. Do you mean actually USE both at the same time? I guess you'd need a helper to do that. If not, I don't see a problem having them both set up and ready to go. They do go together, after all. If anything, the added momemtum that the mass of the saw blade adds would help the performance of the jointer, in my opinion. And I can't imagine the jointer stealing any power from the table saw. I think a lot of users keep the jointer connected most of the time when set up for sawing.
