Yeah, that's pretty much what I've gathered from the time I discovered it was busted 'til now.  The performance hit is unfortunately drastic, so what I've had to do is leave it on, which is fine for ordinary computer stuff, but if I desperately need to compile something that won't compile without an ICE, I've rebooted and disabled the L2.
