Circular references causes additional regeneration time, in my opinion, that seems to be one of the primary problems.  Many circular references in an assembly can seriously degrade Creo performance.

I have seen one case where upon regeneration, a circular reference would change a part and then the next regeneration, it would change it again. I believe that specific one was a relation was causing a value change with each regeneration. I have only experienced that one time.
