I'm trying to figure out when would it be good to use 802.11w Protected Management Frames. How much of a hit will it cause on performance?

Also, is enabling Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (UAPSD) a good idea? I've heard that some iOS devices have trouble with it.
 
PMF can be problematic with legacy clients that don't support the feature...

I haven't heard of specific problems with iOS and UAPSD, but that doesn't mean there isn't problems there.

Both of these are optional features in any event - probably best to leave them as they are, but feel free to experiment.
