Assuming the reason for the slowdown is the use of an extra register, it
obviously depends on what you're doing. I can imagine scenarios where the
lack of a register would result in a few extra instructions in the middle of
a small loop, making it too big for the L1 cache, and having a very large
effect on the speed. On the other hand, in most cases I doubt it would have
a noticeable effect at all.
