Why is traction control causing worse performance?

When the traction control in my 01 GLE is turned on, the car hesitates tremendously esp from the start. When its turned off, theres no lag in power and feels like a whole different engine. Anyone know how the traction control in the maximas work and why such bad performance with teh traction control on?

Because thats its job. Its takes away power when the wheels loose traction. Should have got a manual with HLSD.
