What are the Processor Virtualization Engine options for? (VT-x, IOMMU, CPU counters)

I'm using a single VM as a dev environment, inside which I run lots of docker containers.

 

Two questions really:
1. How to these help - and will checking them speed up or slow down anything in this scenario?

2. Does "Virtualize IOMMU" mean VMWare will provide a fake IOMMU layer so your guest OS can pretend you have one if you don't, or does it mean it will pass through access to your processor's existing IOMMU to the guest OS?  The documentation on these options is very sparse (from what I've been able to find), so I can't tell what this checkbox even means/does.
