Rman Full and Archivelog backups

Question

I am scripting my rman stuff and it's part of a much larger Perl maintenance. I have nightly and hourly jobs. Nightly will do a full backup and hourly will do archivelog backup. Full backups take about 2-3 hours.
My question is: is there a problem with running archivelog backups be running while I am doing a full backup. If system resources are not an issues, what are some arguments for or against it?

Thanks Tychos.
That is something that I've debated - if my full would be with Plus ArchiveLog or not. So, I've decided not to backup the log during a full backup.
This is for my nightly:
open (RMAN, "| rman target sys/$SYPASS\@$CSID catalog rman/$CATPSS\@catalog >$Rlog");
print RMAN <<"END";
run {
allocate channel d1 device type disk format \'$HBDir/$HBFiles\';
set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to \'$HBDir/$ControlFile\';
backup as compressed backupset database;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
report need backup;}
END
close (RMAN);
This is the hourly:
open (RMAN, "| rman target sys/$SYPASS\@$CSID catalog rman/$CATPSS\@catalog >$Rlog");
print RMAN <<"END";
run {
allocate channel d1 device type disk format \'$TempArchHBDir/$BUFile\';
CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to \'$HBDir/$ControlFile\';
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input;
END
close (RMAN);
