Will it affect performance?

If you are planning to host .net application, yes Integrated Mode does helps. Integrated Mode is basically the pipeline which IIS 7 loads IIS and ASP.NET modules. The request-processing models of IIS and ASP.NET are integrated into a unified process model hence eliminates steps that were previously duplicated in IIS and ASP.NET, such as authentication. Additionally, Integrated mode enables the availability of managed features to all content types.
