Powersupplies less effective over time?

Just curious, does the voltage output of a Power supply drop over time? Lets say I've been running my computer non-stop for 3+ days, will the voltage output be "dirtier" then if I shut the computer down for a night, and restart it the next day?
 
you might want to post this one in the PSU forum.

the big thing is that internal components heating up makes voltages somewhat less stable, but one would think that the core components of the PSU get up to equilibrium after an hour or two, not over the course of days.
