Default Phishing IE7

I am using IE7 with the Phishing feature turned ON, but I notice it slows
down the loading of pages.
I turned it OFF and the pages load much quicker.
Do I really need the Phishing feature turned ON?

What are the Pros/Cons please.
Thank you

I always turn IE's Phishing feature OFF because it slows things down and
doesn't work very well. Personally, I think Firefox is a much better browser
and its phishing protection works better than IE's. But the very best
defense is to practice "Safe Hex" because all the security software in the
world won't help you if you don't.
