Does poorly maintainable code affects the performance of the application?

What I have tried:

I am trying to analyse the behaviour of poor maintainability on performance.

Probably not directly, but it may be an indicator of a wider development quality problem.

There is no direct correlation between the two. You could have super performant code that is a monster to maintain because of the techniques required to get the code to perform at a high level.

You could also have really crapping performance in code that's a bear to maintain.

The opposites are also true. You could have code that's performs at a high level and is simple and beautiful to maintain and you can have code that's elegant and performs like crap.

There is no link between performance and maintainability.
Performance depend on the algorithms and data structures you are using.
Maintainability is linked to your writing style.
