OK, I've tested it a fair bit both on my desktop machine and my notebook (Centrino/Dothan 1.8, ATI Radeon Mobility 9700), and there is hardly any effect on performance. Any reduction in framerate is marginal (about 1% perhaps).
Maybe it looks a bit too grainy sometimes though. Are they any settings that affect the way it works, or is it all or nothing? And of course on some textures it just looks odd - you don't expect, e.g., brushed metal to look bumpy close-up. Presumably that couldn't be changed without some very clever programming though.
Overall, it's a good effect, and for now my default setting is to have it turned on.
