I doubt it would be noticeable, but I have never seen any performance 
measurements on it.

What is the actual goal? It might be easier to accomplish the desired goal with 
MAPI or EWS, unless the goal is "I'm the CEO and I want to see who has read the 
emails I send!"  :)

I fiddled around with this for a little while (always fun to learn new things) 
and getting the right message tracking report is a bit finicky. But doing it 
with AQS is easy "Received:Today AND Subject:'test' NOT Is:Read".

But message-tracking is much more scalable than EWS if you are tracking all 
mailboxes and making regular search requests.

One final comment: ReadTrackingEnabled only works for internally delivered 
email. It works differently than "Read Receipt Requested".

Subject: [Exchange] ReadTrackingEnabled Performance Hit?

I have a customer that wants to enable ReadTrackingEnabled in their Exchange 
2010 environment. Does anyone know how much of a performance hit this would be?

Thanks,
