Will filling up phones storage make it run slower?

Hello everyone. Basicly what i would like to know is if filling up my phones storage is going to make it run slower?

I had 5 movies on my 8g microSDHC card. I decided to move them to my phones storage since nothing really uses that storage. The movies play great from both the phones storage and the SD card, but it felt like my phone was running a little slower once I did this. Is this just in my head or will my phone really run slower with its storage almost full?

My phones settings state that the total space of the storage is 6.6GB and the avialable space is no 1.57GB.

Thanks for the help!
