How does dust actually slow down electrical devices?

Was just cleaning out my console and got me thinking about how the dust that gathers actually affects performance as it gathers on the outside of the device.

Dust clogs air intakes and vents and makes fans less effcient. your console is using these fans and airways to keep cool, if they are less effcient, the console has to decrease power to the processors to make less heat.

But that power was what was making the processor run fast too, so it slows down.
