In fact, most sources consider this program to actually reduce system stability and performance.

Further, the larger cooled area can reduce performance below theoretical levels by reducing the pressure against the nozzle.

Impurities or additives in the water will reduce the life and performance of the battery.

However it did slightly reduce cognitive performance in tests on monkeys.

A few hours of lost sleep combined with business travel significantly reduces performance.

While less clear, there is also a tendency for early tracking to reduce mean performance.

Do any of these play a role in reducing performance?

"We can't reduce performance to a single numerical score."

Modern aircraft seldom used V8s because the heavy weight reduces performance.

The result may be that disk thrashing occurs, and one or both programs will have significantly reduced performance.
