It has benefitted me - once told it needed turning on!
+1 for on by default please :)

Since there has been no reply by the decision makers, consider this a
formal bump. There is confusion over instancing in blender and people
*are wasting hours* on this. I propose to get rid of this option in
the interface and make it on for every file, old or new.
Quoting a piece of IRC conversati
Even to avoid bug reports!
Right now i am working on a heavy scene with raytracing, it sucks about 500
Mbytes with instancing on, and with instancing off it simply CRASH because
it doesn't have the enough memory to build the tree! You can see it in the
task manager, even in a 64bits with 8 gigabyte
When I read the post about instancing being off by default, I was in the
middle of a big project with raytracing and lots of instancing. I can
turn on instancing to save some rendering time, right?
Wrong! Turning on instancing gave me longer render times, and it also
made a small but visible diffe
I have noticed this too, turning on instancing, in scenes with lots of
instances, sometime leads to longer render times. In the past it has
been faster, too, so I don't know what's going on, or why it should have
these results.

Hi,
When you enable instancing, it will only do it for objects that have
more than one instance. So for that there should be no performance
regression. It can degrade performance due to the overhead of the ray
transforms, and because of lower BVH tree quality. Also when
instancing meshes with only
Hi Brecht,
that would be awesome and will speedup things a bit :)
