I've never been able to discern a performance difference between my hardened systems, and my non-hardened systems.
I've built up several systems side-by-side, one hardened and the other vanilla, specifically for the purpose of picking up signs of systematic performance issues. But, I'm sure we'll run across some examples of packages that benefit from being built vanilla. We'll add them to the blacklist as we run across them. After playing with hardened for around a year now, I'm getting comfortable with the perception that there are only a few packages out there that don't play nice with hardened.
