Generally speaking they do, at least from my experience when switching from one model to the other - their performance decreases, and they often do large refactors outside of the requested scope as they try to bring the code closer to 'their' style.

Which makes sense imo - they'v been trained to iterate over the code they wrote, and not code that was modified by someone else in the interim.
