does display Optimization effect the final render?

Noved1

i was annoyed at how slow things were in complicated scenes, but i found and turned "display Optimization" in the preferences menu, and now every thing works smooth, and i can navigate the viewport with pretty much no lag, but does this amazing feature have any drawbacks? like for example, effecting the final render? and maybe someone can tell how the option works? because it has made things alot easier.

It will not affect any renders that you do using the 3Delight render engine.

The viewport display is created using OpenGL, and it ia handled by your graphics card. The optimisation setting proably simpifies the data that your card uses, it should not affect anything else.
