The gain would be that an attacker having a foothold on the internal network (by having a physical access or hacking a device on it) would be able to sniff and modify outgoing emails.
I'm a bit sceptical about the performance claim on modern hardware.
That said it's not a completely unreasonable tradeoff.
If an attacker is already inside and has access to a server, they have bigger problems to worry about.
