I don't know for sure, but some things that computers do are fast because the memory is in order in RAM and the processor gets to run something on it contiguously without interruption. If denuvo was doing something in the middle of that type of process it could easily hurt performance. If it straight up uses more RAM, just that could hurt performance, because a smaller percentage of the memory can fit in cache at a time.
