are you running rich? If your cat keeps getting clogged there's an issue with your engine that it keeps emitting high hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide,and oxygen, more than should be processed by the catalytic converter.

If you're talking about the secondary O2 (after the cat) no that won't do anything to improve the situation. All that sensor does is throw codes if your car isn't converting enough exhaust. It has zero influence on any changes to how the car runs.

Yes it does have something to do with performance, if you're not converting enough exhaust at the correct emissions level the O2 sensor will send a signal to the PCM to make the car run leaner to decrease the amount of emissions

so will an o2 spacer solve my situation?

stay away from that crap. replace your o2 sensor to get oem spec. Anything you do to modify the o2 sensor is only going to complicate things. The more complicated you make things the harder and costlier its going to be to fix.
