I have a 16 faced cylinder and have a block brush that I altered it with the displacement tool and the displacements are clipping into the cylinder. My question is, will this affect performance or compile process?

Both. Look up holes in displacements on the Valve Wiki.

I'm not worried about leaks, im worried about it raising the max leaf memory and producing a fatal error.

No, you're fine.
It's quite common for displacements to clip through other brushes.

True. Valve maps do it all the time.

Oh, I thought you wanted to clip a cylindrical hole into a displacement. :/ I must have not fully woken up when I posted that...
