Title. I always skip them and don't notice any detrimental effects at all. I used to let them run every time, but I don't want to wait 5 minutes for every patch update bug fix anymore

Yes. If I don't sometimes the game gets studdery.

Also depends on the game, deadlock takes like 10 minutes to compile shaders for some reason. Other games I'm never going to notice a studder, or it doesnt matter gameplay wise so I'll skip and let it do it on the fly.
