I am just amazed that it still works, it must be so beat up right now by turning power on and off that it must make a sound like an old fridge.

Yes, it can lower framerates. As you may know it has all the data of the game stored and if that is slow then it bottlenecks the whole game.

Just aim between the chips and put it out of its misery.
