You should notice less performance impact on the source and as little bit more on the destination. After the update transfer there are some housekeeping steps that post process on the destination which uses resources.

Has anyone seen benefits to using XDP mirrors? Faster? Slower? Better or worse network compression?
We've converted all our snapmirrors to XDP. It is slighltly slower but the benefit of not having to worry about source/destination versions is worth it for us since we have a bunch of clusters cross mirroring different volumes and with DP we had to upgrade a dozen clusters at the same in order to not break snapmirror.
