The time machine feature doesn't really take up so much memory space that it effects the efficientcy of the machine. All windows versions (Not as sure about the older ones) have this feature and it's damn handy for it. It generally saves about a day or two, to a week's worth (depends on what you set it to) of past data, and if your computer crashes, or you lose valuable data, you are able to turn your computer back to the exact way it was on the last day the machine did an auto save/backup.
I had to use it many times on my PC (Because frankly PC's and Windows fail really badly at not crashing, and being really vulnerable to errors), and it saved my butt a few times.
Only thing is, I have yet to ever run into a time when I have needed that feature on my MAC, as I have never run into a problem with it, or lost any data due to errors.
I myself haven't bothered to switch over to leopard, as I'm fine with the way my mac is now. I don't need useless features that aren't of much importance to me lol
