Thanks for the heads up. Maris and I spoke briefly about it yesterday.
The short answer is we don't know, but probably not much.

I'd rather we avoid doing any deeper analysis. The Launchpad
Foundations are already working on making Launchpad faster, and
couldn't do anything more if they discovered our rankings would be
seriously affected.

Note that improving performance is likely to be one of our big pushes
post-UDS. See https://dev.launchpad.net/RoadMap#The%20Road%20Ahead.
