Depends what "performance" you are talking about.
Good track hubs will spin with less resistance than cheap road hubs due to lack of seals, better bearings, better machining.
The lack of lube, lack of seals certainly won't 'perform' well in the outdoor durability stakes though will they?
Performance could mean all manner of things, not just going faster. Everything is a compromise anyway.
