I came to the same conclusion: if you drive mainly in warm weather,
it's not only useless but a performance impact. I also removed the
mixture valve (which decreases air flow diameter by about a third,
if you have a look at it) and I'm very pleased with the result.
Before the change, flooring the pedal didn't do much better than
just-not flooring it (ehm stupid to explain...), but afterwards
there came more out of it when floored.
So my mixture valve became a nice, cosy spot on the shelf in the garage 
;-)
