Gathering system stats gives the optimizer more information about the 
current workload mix and the capabilities of the system ( cpu speed, IO 
performance). In general this should lead to better access plans and better 
performance and I have heard that people have had good success with it. 
However, any changes that impact the optimizer should be tested thoroughly 
because there could be nasty surprises. If you have a mixed workload, e.g. 
OLTP during the day and batch during off-hours, you should have separate 
system statistics for each workload and switch them in as appropriate.
