CAt 5 wiring question

Ill make this simple and easy

House is wired with CAT-5 cable. I didnt follow the wiring scheme. I just put the 8 wires in one side and made sure the colors matched up on the other side.

Could this cause unoptimal performance throughout the network?
 
I would say if the distance is not too long, it is ok.
If the distance is longer, your cable support 10Mb only.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
1,2 is a pair wire.
2,6 is a pair wire.
4,5 is a pair wire.
7,8 is a pair wire.
