Way too technical for me, but I have mine turned on, better a little slower but being safe.

It's an extra Antiphishing layer of protection (thus a slight slow down) scanning the SSL web connections. It may be a little faster, but for protections sake, I would leave it on.

From the manual:

• Scanning SSL web traffic.

More sophisticated attacks might use secure web traffic to mislead their victims. It is therefore recommended to enable SSL scanning.

• Protection against fraud.

• Protection against phishing.

• Protection for instant messaging.
