I've just jumped up to 12.5 miles and it does take a toll, particularly as it's all stop-start London traffic and I have to slog over the Crystal Palace hill on the way. I think it depends on your job - I do quite long hours which makes it harder. If you had a in-at-9-out-at-5-with-an-hour's-lunch type job then it'd be no bother.
