I have found that RSH is much faster when copying data over internal network (which is of course understandable since it doesn't encrypt the data)
So i see no evil in enable, do your job and disable it if you need to copy like 100 or more GB.
It's wrong to have always on, since there are secure alternatives (sftp/ssl, ssh).
