Let's just consider the effect of the add-blocker (usually on client side).

It's an additional step that parses the page and removes object or not, based on it's logic. As an additional step it cannot help but take more time.

HOWEVER, IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE!

If the ads it blocks are themselves slowing down the site then blocking them can actually spend lest time then rendering them.

Normally, the first consideration, above, dominates - but not always.
