when turned on, the animated avatars/borders cause steam to suck up a ton of your cpu power. for me with a small friends list of 25 people, having this turned on makes steam use a constant 5-7% extra cpu. a few people i've talked to said this made no difference, but the vast majority of people i've spoken to did have extra cpu being taken up.

This kinda worked (didn't see a huge increase in my fps but depends on the PC), to be honest If anyone wants to suck every single fps possible out of steam then they should use steam -nobrowser, this thing eats more resources than It should, its crazy

FYI
-no-browser
is being deprecated. I think the new solution on Windows is just to delete the webhelper executable and use
-noverifyfiles
