Like I mentioned, it depends a lot on the content, and the preview window shows a fast resized video (read low quality) preview. You will not always get the improvement you saw in the example I compressed for you earlier. In fact, I am sure sometimes it is impossible to see any improvement, that's how video compression works. However, the encoder always makes better encoding decisions in this mode, but whether or not the resulting visual improvement is worth the extra time depends on your computer and your available time.

Instead of just compressing one long clip at one set bitrate to decide the new mode's usefulness, I would perhaps have recommended trying a few shorter clips at different bitrates. Then you would have much more varied results.
