**Update:** I ran a new benchmark to highlight better the effects of using local mirroring (cut & pasted [from here](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/264#issuecomment-57812998)):
I ran a new benchmark with uBlock 0.6.6.0-rc.0 and ABP 1.8.5 with the same lists (except Peter Lowe's because there is no easy convenient way to install it in Adblock Plus -- so I assume users are likely to not bother).
Here is the resulting diff: https://www.diffchecker.com/5z91i47m

In red what ABP blocked which was not blocked by uBlock.
In green what uBlock blocked which was not blocked by ABP.
I suspect the only two requests not blocked by uBlock which were blocked by ABP is just the result of the page content changing between the time I benchmarked uBlock and ABP.
Filter lists:
- ABP: Out of box settings + EasyPrivacy, Malware domains, Fanboy's Social Blocking List, Anti-Facebook + "Acceptable ads" disabled
- uBlock: Out of box settings + Anti-Facebook + Local mirroring enabled and primed (as it would be through normal use).
What local mirroring accomplished in the above benchmark... Prevented connections to:
- `2mdn.net`
- `ajax.googleapis.com`
- `cloudflare.com`
- `fonts.googleapis.com`
- `googletagservices.com`
- `gstatic.com`
- `janrain.com`
- `jquery.com`
- `twitter.com`
And since the remote resources were available locally, preventing the connection didn't cause page breakage.
