Hi Don, It is just for speed. Some data providers like QP have a well-written API which allows for fast communication when the plugin is retreiving data. Others like TC2K are slower. For the slower ones, it is recommended to enable the local DB - that speeds things up because once data is retreived by the plugin, it is stored locally and access is very fast after that. TJ felt that QP was fast enough that it was not necessary to store their data locally, and so recommended disabling it, but it doesn't hurt to have it enabled except that local storage will take up some space on your drive and it may take a couple extra seconds to write new data to the local DB. OTOH, you should probably see faster performance when retreiving data.
