combjelly: I suspect the PSMswill have an impact on throughput and maybe yield...

My understanding is that the required PSMs are quite susceptible to damage, which will certainly lower the throughput. It might also hurt yields, but I would assume that this is something of a trade-off (i.e. a "slightly" damaged PSM would lower yields - how often you replace it affects your throughput and if you don't do it often enough, yields will suffer).
