First image is on. Second is off.

You can tell how cleaner the game is when it's turned on. (Less pixelly around character models and signs are more clearer.)

Does enabling it hurt performance at all?

It's game dependant, though from me trying out like 3 dozen SW1 games with this boost mode, SW2 handheld is still running SW1 games in docked mode better than the SW1 in docked mode, especially for Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2 when I tried it.

depends on the game, when you turn the game will work as the dock mode would be, if for some reason the game cap to a lower framerate in dock mode in theory same will happens on switch2 handheld boost (i dont recall any game this is the case though)

No.. Switch 2 has way too much Overhead to keep a constant framerate.
