PiHole made my Samsung TV so much faster (probably 30%), since it no longer loaded ads for shows into the app bar (they don't appear like ads, but they are).
It also broke stuff (like info for broadcast TV channels, and the Samsung TV channels, which are internet sourced), but that was easily fixed by disabling those filters.
