If there are more items in the fridge does each one cause the fridge to have a higher uptime when maintaining colder temperatures?

Others are discussing the way a fridge must cool down any things you put into it, but there’s also another scenario: long after all the things you’ve put into the fridge are cool, what does the fridge have to do?
If you open the fridge door to take out a can of beer for example, a lot of the cold air in the fridge escapes and is replaced by room temperature air. That air will have to be cooled down by the fridge. But the things that were in the fridge will barely notice a change in temperature (unless the air is really hot). Technically, if the things you store in the fridge are not crowded to the point of limiting normal air flow inside the compartment, the more things you have in there the less air will require cooling after the door is briefly opened.
