Will USB devices slow down when using DP alternate mode?

Just thinking, when I connect 4k@60Hz LCD to a laptop via USB-C and chain other devices via monitor's USB hub, should I expect slow down of throughput-hungry devices? I mean, with that resolution it's 12.54 Gbit/s for DP only and USB3.1 is supposed to be "just" 10Gbit/s, right? What's the trick?
(obviously I like the idea of connecting only one cable to my ultrabook, instead of two, HDMI being the other one)
