func_lod

are there any known maps where using it is worth it? like someone actually compared the fps with world/func_detail and with func_lod?

I was poking around in the Goldrush VMF a couple days ago, and I saw those being used a lot.

Since they can be set to fade at a distance (while func_detail can't), much like a prop, I imagine that func_lod brushes are useful for large maps so that a player's computer doesn't need to draw details the player is too far away to see.

I know that, but my own testing would say that it isn't worth it. I'm just wondering if anyone else has done the same in recent years and found different.
