Is Windows Integrity Control in Vista really worth the performance hit? And does it really work?

I have been playing around with Vista for about a year; to date I cannot find a reason why one would take the productivity hit to upgrade. For those who do not know what WIC is, there is a good into write-up at http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1887. While Windows Integrity Control (WIC) is somewhat secure, I was able to elevate privileges on programs using a tool from a friend of mine. Presumable one could use this tool or one like to elevate their privileges as well. Has anyone tried to elevate all the way to SYSTEM? I know it is possible to elevate form Low to Medium to High. It seems to me that the Linux and BSD folks have figured out how to implement access controls without a heavy load on the system; Vista really chokes.
