If I remember correctly, leaving the gear down quite seriously affects second segment climb (certainly looks like it from the pointy end!! ), possibly even the third.

I've had this out of LHR and the performance is reduced so much that the RTOW is reduced from 267 tons to 220 tons. Makes a hell of a racket as well!!
