Nope; 'compiling to javascript' is a relatively trivial operation, just remove the type information. This is what Babel and nowadays NodeJS itself are doing.

What is more important is that tsc does typechecking, which is a static analysis of sorts to ensure code correctness. But this has nothing to do with runtime performance, that's entirely in JS land and in JS transpilers / optimizers.
