HTML Cleanup worth it ?

I just enabled HTML Cleanup for the first time on my forums...(via vbseo options) so far I see no errors and everything seems to be running fine.

Have any of you noticed that its made a positive difference in search engines for you ? Or maybe made things worse ?

if no errors show up, is it overall better to have this turned on ?

I personally don't use it for the simple fact that i view source 5 times a day... and without the formatting it makes it a lot harder to read.

think search engines feel the same way ?

The search engines will not miss the comments, as long as the document is valid and readable. It's going to increase your content 2 code ratio, decrease bandwidth, and speed up page processing/indexing by the engines. I recommend this feature. If you ever need to view the source for debugging or updating purposes, you can re-enable it briefly. In Brian's case, he does this so frequently, he prefers keeping the option disabled, avoiding the need to continually toggle it on and off.

Is the general consensus to turn this option then?

I'm recommended to enable this option
