One more huge reason for using it in a desktop system.

I didn't know about the performance benefits.

I just know that providing snapshot space in advance by registering in 
advance LVs for that purpose, is not a good way of working (for me, or 
anyone).

Although the idea of using LVM thin to provide only a single thin volume 
might be rather odd ;-).

Still, the snapshotting is clearly superior to that of traditional LVM, 
right?

Regards.
