Ad Blocking is resource intensive. You will get lowered performance. Especially on machines that are anemic for both processing time and memory.
Here is a posting at Mozilla (the guys who make motherfucking browsers) that looks at the performance of ad blocking:

Plain and simple – nothing is for free. When you are blocking domains off of an HTML page that is being parsed as data comes in, you will have to check each sub- element against a very large table. This means that for increasing complexity pages, you'll be spending an increasing amount of time to check, parse, reparse, and manipulate the DOM while also traversing a large table in memory.
