Derrick is right, performance takes a back seat to stability/reliability
and functionality.

If this is enabled, then the server piece needs to be stable and
bulletproof. In otherwords, make the server bulletproof, and you can fix
the clients later. Otherwise admins are going to swear at you and disable
the feature and never re-enable it. This is especially true in 24/7
environments, and/or where it causes crashes or loss of data.
