It may not have been 100% clear what I was implying here.  Because  
encapsulation makes the code easier to reason about, it makes it easier to  
change, and improve.  Therefore, it's easier to improve the performance of  
the code.

That, plus the idea that you can and should break encapsulation for a  
higher priority concern - which may be performance for example - mean that  
encapsulation should not negatively impact any code base.
