I'm not sure how much work it was pre-AO3 - I know it worked differently, for example there was a list of banned fandoms that was automatically coded, so they didn't need anything doing. However, I got the impression that it was still a lot of work - and I have no idea how Elyn and Shalott managed it all themselves.
My overall impression this year is that there has been a lot more coordination in nominating, and the tag set is a bit higher than 2012/2011, but lower than last year. However, splitting up rpf fandoms will have had some of the impact. It will be very interesting to see how well matching works, especially as it turned out very well last year (but some people didn't like having to request at least 4 fandoms) and work out the numbers for next year from that.
