I'd be worried much more about heat problems than performance.  Plus
power supplies are not the greatest (a massive understatement to say the
least :-).  Here in the UCLA CS Dept, we leave just about everything on
all the time *except* for Mac Pluses.  When you burn one up, you'll see
why.  We just don't want to start a fire here late one night.
