It's slow and was very bad for a long time, so some of that bad reputation lingers, maybe?

How is it slow? I've never noticed a difference with or without it enabled.

Slows down various file operations (download, copy, archive, build, etc) and has a high CPU utilization doing that

E.g. see this test from a few years ago

Though it seems they've improved recently and are average now in more recent tests
