I was told long ago that Chips increase performance, at the expense of longevity. Is it true its a trade off?

All a chip doe is cahnge your fuel curve and mess with timing setting a little. The result is someone might drive there vehicle harder alot more often. This of course all ways in the long run takes it's toll on the engine, trany etc. But it just wouldn't be much fun to drive like a snail all the time.
