I'd change the last paragraph slightly. If I've interpreted the effects
correctly,

    Using dash as the system shell will improve the system's overall
    performance. It does not affect any user's choice of interactive shell.

It just makes it crystal clear that this is a system change and normal
users won't notice anything (unless, of course, their machines stop
booting ;)
