What happens to system speed when a second satellite is added?

Question

The extra standalone Orbi satellite is supposed to be available on Amazon on 11/21 .

Does anyone have insight on how a second satellite added to the existing Orbi router + satellite setup will impact performance, if at all? Will it halve it like an extender?

Thanks.
