I'll agree with benh for now since, yes, the performance option is completely broken in just blindly applying settings right now. It should be revisted and made so that a safe performance setting is supported in the future (possibly via suggestions from arch-specific quirks), since having to configure this makes little sense for the vast majority of users. Applying 3/3 first would also make the most sense.
