I see that the recommended default for the realtime shield setting "Scan files when written or modified" is OFF.  Has anyone tried turing this on?  Does it adversley affect performance?

It does affect performance, due to the amount of access to files coming from clients on a server. That's why the server defaults to off. The amount of impact would depend on the load on that server.
