If you're running decent hardware, the performance gains from disabling auto-update and system restore won't be noticeable.
Disabling auto-update is no big deal, just remember to check Windows Update on a regular basis.
System Restore is a potential lifesaver. Always make a restore point before doing any kind of driver update or system changes. That way if the changes you've made hose your system, it's an easy fix to return it back. My advice: leave it on.
