Well, if the component isn't visible (I typically override isVisible, because there's typically an algorithm that determines whether the component is visible), no rendering is done at all, which can save things like database roundtrips if that component or it's children use that, and it also often lets you avoid having to do null checks and stuff in your models (e.g. you can depend on a model function only to be executed when another object - the one that determines whether the component is visible - is checked).
