Personally Corey I've never seen a noticeable difference having it enabled other than the severe "braking" effect. I disabled mine and never looked back. When you go off throttle and back onto the throttle I never liked the jerk or lash that the DFCO caused. It's much easier on your drivetrain to leave it disabled.

It does not cut the fuel off, is disabled. The jerking came from it turning on (cutting the fuel), and turning off (turning the fuel back on), turning the engine on and off. With DFCO enabled, and you let off the throttle, the fuel cuts off when the engine speed falls to the DFCO entry rpm. Then rpm drops rapidly to the DFCO exit rpm, and the engine cuts back on instantly.
When DFCO is disabled and you let off the throttle, the engine tries to return to idle. It does not instantly go to idle because of the throttle cracker and follower tables. When they are correctly set up, they act like a carburetor with a closed throttle, in that the carb lets a little air and fuel through when you let off the gas, allowing the engine to gradually return to idle.
DFCO might be nice if you could enable it manually, like maybe a button on the gearshift, to use engine braking in the hills.
