I don't think so , my copy of v6 runs faster on my machine as compared to v5.5. It even loads faster with all my plugs re-introduced too.

If you're on a Mac and OS9, turn virtual memory on, even if it's only 1MB more than installed memory. OS 9 / virtual memory loads and manages applications better. I can look up the source to this if you want.
