The controversy never ends. Manager X vs Manager Y since the days of Taylor and Fayol.
The quantity of output increases under pressure but the quality is not always the same. The output is too skewed towards a certain objective and the big picture is forgotten. Time pressure kills like nothing else. Ask a chess player under time pressure. Most of the modern day illnesses are due to time pressure.
As the HBR article points out, the results suggest that, overall, very high levels of time pressure should be avoided if you want to foster creativity on a consistent basis. However, if a time crunch is absolutely unavoidable, managers can try to preserve creativity by protecting people from fragmentation of their work and distractions; they should also give people a sense of being "on a mission," doing something difficult but important. I don't think, though, that most people can function effectively in that mode for long periods of time without getting burned out.
At the other end of the spectrum, very low time pressure might lull people into inaction; under those conditions, top-management encouragement to be creative—to do something radically new—might stimulate creativity. But, frankly, I don't think there's much danger of too little time pressure in most organizations I've studied.

Oh, yes. While nude diving off Australia several years ago, with a cute little Aussie, I had the most wonderful experience. When we reached the depth of about 60 feet we decided to, well, try it. I had no idea what the effects of the immense pressure would have on me. Plus, everything looks 20% larger under water. Did I perform? All I can say is that following her up the beach afterwords, I never saw any woman walk like that!

I always perform well under pressure. I don't even get really motivated until there's pressure

LOL... it's the *only* time I perform well... I actually allow my work to pile up until the last minute, as it's when I am at my best.
