Tomasz, Thank you for considering this problem.
I understand your desire to preempt support questions about performance from new users and guide them towards fixing the right problem. I found the red "!" in the lower corner caught my attention right away and it gave me all the information in the popup on demand. Having the popup happen only once was also sufficient to let me know about this new feature. Once a user knows about the feature, I don't think it necessary to have a constant nag reminder after this point. I will trust you to find the way that works for everyone.
