I've seen a video from CTT demonstrating the <10 performance boosts by simply off the mitigation. The system will be secure for personal use as before.

    Ask yourself: do you really need a performance boost or are you just chasing the numbers to avoid a non-existant problem?

    The short answer, as a ton of people already said in the comments of the video, is "hell no" it is not and it is most likely also not worth it. Back when the video came out I tested it (with unplugged network) on my system and the performance gain was ~1% which I'd consider well within the margin of error

    Link for the video?

    As a general rule of thumb, I've been told that anything less than a 50% performance boost is hardly noticeable.

    I've also heard (but ready to stand corrected) that mitigation costs only about 10% CPU (depending on the CPU).

    I don't get out of bed for a 10% performance boost.
