Does installing multiple desktop environments affect performance?

I love having multiple DEs on my linux laptop... I currently have Unity, Gnome3, gnome classic and Openbox. Would this mean slower performances?
Thanks a bunch!

No, installing and keeping different DE's does not mean slower performance. But when you are on a DE, you can try to avoid using an application which loads the other DE's modules, libraries etc.
