Hey come on! I'm not a super fatty - I'm 6'6"! Oh and for commuting the bike'll usually have a Carradice SQR tour on the seatpost as well, adding to the static weight a bit.
I've always thought the idea was silly as well though, but chucking Durano Pluses (23c) on my current bike instead of Vittoria Rubinos made a hell of a (negative) difference to acceleration, climbing and avg speed. A little bit of extra rotational weight made way more of a difference than I thought it would.

Not to be blunt, but if you're 90kg I really wouldn't fret about 150g.
