don't know if it matters much.. I kept Journaling on when it became 
available..
it was turned on by default I think.. on my start up drive.

When doing more disk intensive activities..  like photoshop or audio 
recording..   I use other hard drives for that. for Photoshop's scratch 
disk and the drive that I'm recording too don't have journaling 
enabled.

The one benefit I've seen from having journaling turned on.. is after a 
power outage... my startup times seem normal.. instead of being very 
long and very scary few minutes.. hoping my drive would recover from 
the sudden shut down :-)
