I know when i was on the 146(300) 2 years ago operating from LCY to DUB (only 1 hour FT) in the summer when we had OAT's over 30C, we were severly restricted weight wise, restricting pax loads to below 80. Once i even had to go from LCY to Dub via Stansted to fuel, as we were too runway TOW restricted to take required pax and fuel to Dublin with 35C temperatures. But that was a uniquely LCY phenomena.
Not withstanding that though, the 146 was a bit wheezy in terms of performance.
I remember several times struggling to make FL190 in light icing on flights from Dublin to the UK and back.
Of course thats all forgotten now that i'm on the A320 with no performance considerations to consider!!!
Still miss the 146 though
