small engines and air conditioning

So my wife has a vw with the little 2.0 engine. My wife loves the AC. Whenever we go for a drive and stop at a light with the AC on I flinch - its just the feeble way the engine respods when the AC is on. I feel like I'm killing the car.
Am I neurotic? Does turning off the AC at every light and then turning it back on when we're back to speed do more harm than just leaving it on?(City traffic - say once every 5 minutes)
Are there any harms in running the AC often aside from (1)lower gas mileage (2) higher engine temps (3) increased serpentine belt wear (4) chronic dehydration?
