Hi,  
In a single pipeline scenario, how much of a performance cost is there to having more than one output configured? Will all outputs run at the speed of the slowest?

Thx

If logstash is configured to write events to more than one output then if one of them slows down this can result in back pressure that eventually stop ingestion of events, so in the long run, yes, they will.

Using pipeline to pipeline communication with an [output isolator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/pipeline-to-pipeline.html#output-isolator-pattern) pattern can help with this.
