Dont know. Mod have overhead, but not that big. Maybe some other software causing it. I cant test performance, dont have desktop computer, but if only two people reported performance drops, i guess its not because of mod directly.
Can anybody else confirm this? I personally did some more testing today, this time with no other programs running in the background, except for my antivirus (which was placed on Standby), and Steam, which was required for Skyrim SE to run (Steam overlay was still turned off). I still got a major performance drop with the latest default binaries, meaning that at least in my case, it is not due to a software conflict.
Yes, I've had this from the beginning. I've just been assuming that it was normal behaviour. I'll quote a part of my own post from the 0.310 thread:

However, with ENB enabled SSE's performance really suffers. As you noticed yourself, fps drops are huge even if you don't have any effects enabled. The reason that I don't see many people reporting this -might- be because SSE's performance is overall a lot better, so it's harder to drop below 60 fps than in old Skyrim. I'm using a Nvidia card (GTX 970).
A good place to test this is the bridge just outside Riverwood, looking in the direction of Riverwood. With my (relatively) heavily modded setup, a combination of High/Ultra ini settings and without the SSE ENB files installed, my uncapped fps in this particular spot is about 65. If you don't use many mods this will probably be higher. Then with the exact same settings but with the default SSE ENB files installed this drops to 49 fps, even with all effects disabled. Add to this the effects that popular SSE ENB presets offer and it can even drop to the 30-40 range. There are several other spots that cause huge drops like this, ultimately leading to a stuttery experience.

I just tested this again a minute ago at the spot in Riverwood with the 0.325 binaries and the results are similar: 69 fps without ENB and 54 fps with the default 0.325 ENB files and all effects disabled.
Some specs/info: I have a i5 3570k@4,3Ghz, a MSI Geforce GTX 970 (driver v388.71), 2x8GB of DDR3 1866Mhz C9 RAM, Win 7 x64
I'm running the most recent versions of both SSE and SKSE. In the background I have pretty much only Avast (in 'Silent Mode') and Steam open. I've tried disabling Avast but results are the same.
