It does not slow down.  I have five USB 2.0 devices plugged in right now, and
one USB 3.0 device (a hard drive dedicated to Time Machine), and
Blackmagicdesign Disk Speed Test clocks 125MB/sec write, 157MB/sec read from
the drive through the hub.

I have identified an issue with an inexpensive USB 2.0 optical drive enclosure
I have with a chipset by "Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc.", I've contacted
Pluggable support who has been very responsive and I'm supplying them with
information about the issue, but otherwise everything else I've tested has
worked great.
