does the size of air line affect the firing rate or fps of your marker?

is a question that i thought of today, and just wanted to put my mind straight.

if there are 2 exact same markers, one with microline, one with macroline, would the smaller bore affect the use of the marker.

it seems quite sensible that the smaller bore of the tube will obviously allow less air in in the same amount of time, if not, would it put more stress on the material used in the smaller tube. and is this the reason why it is being used less and less?
if less air is getting into the marker, wont this affect the recharge rate and fps at higher rates of fire?

or, does the air pass though in such a small amount of time that it isnt noticed?

have i missed out on something, as this kinda puzzles me
