Has anyone dived into a security review of this code before including it
in the default installation?

The code could certainly do with a review:
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/tree/master/daemon

By installing it by default, we're also making it part of the "API" that
games and applications expect to be able to use, without having checked
its API, its usability long-term, and even if it's fit for purpose.
