Hi
Depends by how do you make this cascading.
If you use for this 2 normal ports the performance depend by the traffic between the switches. Can be OK or you can occure a slow performance.
You can configure for this more than 2 ports for a betterperformance or you can use a matrix cable (if your switch have this option) which will transform the 2 switches in one big switch.
Hope this help you

When you use cascade switches they act as one device with one unified backplane. You should see the same performance no matter where you are on the switch.
