Not if your SQL uses indexes. However, if have free space within a table’s or indexes extents and you see your SQL doing full-scans, then yes, it might affect performance. I wrote “Oracle Tuning: The Definitive Reference” with details on all of this and scripts that you can run to see if you have a space-related performance problem.
