Like a bird flying into a strong wind you will slow down and may even start to move backwards.
In a way, this reminds me more of something I read from a computing book as a child, about early time-shared mainframes, where when overloaded a mainframe would spend more time loading programs from disk to memory and saving them back than it would work on any program. At one point, called a "beached whale", the system is constantly loading and saving because there is no time for any processing, as too many processes are fighting for CPU cycles.
