I doubt it has any significant impact on performance, unless we are talking about old (e.g Pentium 4) CPU or very large orchestral templates with thousands of long and/or multichannel audio files.
I would say that more important is the speed/cache/fragmentation of the disk where the files are streamed/read from. There will always be balance between uncompressed (but large files) and compressed (lossless or lossy, but smaller files). You need a bit more CPU to decompress on the fly, but you need to have broad and sustained hardddisk bandwidth for big, long uncompressed samples.
And I am pretty sure that latency is not affected by that at all.
