No, once running the performance is the same. > Or it is just that it will boot up faster. I do not have a mac, > but I might buy one and install Debian. You will win a few seconds when booting up, that's it. But consider this: You can very well put your Mac asleep with super low energy consumption and wake it up in no time. There's actually no need to reboot all the time IMO. One argument for keeping multi-boot: If you keep your original Mac OS on a small partition, in my case 30 GB are sufficient, you can upgrade your Mac from time to time with Mac OS. This is not needed for the OS (Linux is your love ;-)), but you'll need it to get EFI updates as well in an automated way.
