Copy Protection (mac apps): most cost effective solution??

Question

... after having just read http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?CocoaInsecurity ...

I am curious to know about your experiences with copy protection solutions for protecting macintosh applications.
Is it worth investing any time in at all? OR Is it worth investing money in a commercial solution? (& if so, which?)

please consider in your answers:

1) How convenient (or INCONVENIENT) is the solution for the (legal) end user?

2) Does the solution have any effect on the real-time performance of the software (CPU hit?)

3) does the solution incur copy-protection related support incidents?

thx->adv,
