Does enabling StreamingEnabled reduce lag?

I've been reading StreamingEnabled on the wiki, and tested it out myself. However, I wasn't able to spot a different in game performance in either test.

Does StreamingEnabled actually have any noticable benifits, or is it a behind the scenes sort of thing?

Yes, streaming enabled can reduce lag

What streaming enabled does is it will keep some areas of the game unloaded if it doesn't need to be loaded. This helps people with slow computers. Because this feature changes the way parts are sent to the client, scripters will have to keep in mind that objects referenced in local Lua scripts might have not arrived or have been streamed out. Games that don't use local scripts should have no problem with streaming. For more information on the subject, here's a link to the roblox wiki.

Hope that helps! Good luck!
