Theoretically, it should be a tiny bit slower (because you're hitting two database tables instead of one), but I wouldn't worry about it unless you're trying to build the next Google with billions of users ;)

My guess is that it hardly affects loading in the client, but that it has a negative impact on the speed of queries and retrieves. (So indirectly, it does affect the responsiveness of the application)
