Surely this has to be looked at.
You're right that many players have huge stacks of red/white and as such it's sometimes good for the organisers, if they aren't still in to do a kind of - chip us as they go thing for players who have masses of these denominations.

Another thing that would make it run smoother is for players not to splash the pot when pushing a stack of whites in as whoever wins the pot then spends two minutes stacking them back up.

For the players one easy thing to do is to, as best as possible, organise these reds and whites into stacks equivelant to the BB or SB or stacks of 500 which makes pushing them into the middle easier.
