Default Do themes effect the speed/performance of a Blackberry?

Please Login to Remove!

Just curious. I have a theme I really like but it seems like since I started using it my 8100 seems more sluggish. Might just be my imagination, but I'm generally curious and didn't see and links to BB performance and Themes in a brief search through past threads.

I think it does, given the graphics, shortcut layout. Some themes would have additional apps. For example, OS4.2.2's Vodafone Today theme has Music player.

I have personally noticed a significant difference with different themes concerning both battery life and performance. Some themes are just needy!
