Back during the 10.1.5 days I remember having the Classic environment not
handle that well, but it wasn't something I researched so it could have been
a fluke.

I would avoid it at all possible. It will take the system longer to go in and out of the screen effect. Also if you run at non-native resolutions for an LCD things can look bad. A few applications may not respond well to the changes (really a bug on their part). Finally some crazy folks like the run screen effects as a desktop background.
