Not necessary, but sometimes.
The base address of a dynamic array must be determined at run time, while the address of a static array can be determined at compile time.
For a static array, when accessing some element, say a[5], the compiler can compute this address at compile time. For a dynamic array, however, the computation of this address has to happen at run time.
If the index is a dynamic value, the two should have same performance though.
