Windows XP DEP

Is the Data Execution Prevention technology in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 useful for anything if people have to turn it off to get things to work, especially with Microsoft Outlook, an application NOTORIOUS for security issues?

That said, I find Windows's XP DEP stuff to slow my machine down a lot; thus I turn it off on most machines that I use.
