Turning on enhanced mouse precision means that you're turning on acceleration. Personally, I like acceleration off because it feels more accurate that way.

This doesn't make sense, when I turn it on my mouse pointer moves faster.
I think I have it enabled on my desktop (which is what I play bw on).

Oh right that's why.
No I'm never serious.

I have a variable dpi setting, so for more precision I just lower the dpi (down to about 600 I believe), usually I just keep it at about 800 for SC:BW. Then for higher res games it is usually at 1600.

Ive always been using it. For some reason i just can't aim without it, I don't know if i became dependant on it. When i take it off it becomes all jerky and my pointer goes all over the place -__-

So you probably use mouse acceleration.

I don't use it, but that's only because I've never turned it on ever in my life after all the gaming I've been through. I tried turning it on and it feels weird to me. Whether or not it makes you more precise is debatable, because I'm sure you're as accurate with either option depending on which one you've been using the longest or are most used to.

I used to have it enabled. But half a year back I decided to try turning it off. It took a couple of weeks of getting used to but now I clearly prefer having it disabled.

Enhanced precision feels like the pointer accelerates during fast movements and decelerates (more than usual) when moving slowly.

No mouse acceleration is obviously the more efficient option. If you feel otherwise it's only because you're unaccustomed to it. It's scientific fact(for some definition of science, ie. complete assumption.)

Usually, mouse acceleration is more used for FPS because it gives a more realistic aiming (faster to go further, etc.) though I have heard many play with it off. It could give no advantage.
But in the case of RTS, like StarCraft, you are playing on one screen, and it will stay the same size, and everything will have the same general magnitude in distance, size, etc. For this, one scale for moving your mouse is far more precise.
