Well...not EXACTLY true. Your phone won't suffer from any lag because of extra files being left behind from flashing all the time. BUT, if you're on a custom rom and want to change to another custom rom, if you don't first flash to the carrier's shipped rom, hard reset it, THEN flash to your new rom, then hard reset it (which is THE proper procedure for flashing any rom) then files do get left behind. It was a while ago and it was on JonRom i think it was called (?)...and whenever I flashed to another custom rom then BACK to JonRom, all my texts from a month ago when I flashed FROM his rom were still there, and I use multiple e-mail accounts on my phone and when I flashed back what also happened was my e-mail accounts would be there but "ghost", so I had tons of old e-mails that I could view in touchflo 3d, but when I went into outlook I couldnt access the accounts or delete any of the messages. I had to use a program called "SKTools" that went deep into the system files to delete these ghost e-mail accounts.
SO in essence, no your phone won't be any slower or crash any more often the more you flash...but it WILL make it a giant pain in the ass if you don't do it right because you could have ghost e-mail accounts, old text messages, and other things that are stuck in your phone that you can't delete in any conventional way.
