This "attack" probably stops spam scripts that generate long chains of unconfirmed txs.
The main word is "probably".
Spam engine should not broadcast predefined set of transactions, but should monitor all transactions on the network from different nodes and build on-the-fly next transaction on top of previous one received from the peer. Splitting the "chain" to a "binary tree" just adds more fun Smiley

Better way to stop spam is to malle spammer chain txs on mining pool.

It might actually be a good thing to leave this running.
I do not think so. I do not see any benefits for me running it. Today.
