Default Cylinder clearance

I am sending in my cylinder for replating. Since I am riding on roads, they adviced me to have my cylinder 0.1mm larger than the piston. Usually, you have about 0.05mm. This is to prevent the rings/piston from catching the wall (heat pinch). It happens sometimes on the road when you switch gears and a lot of people have gotten it when driving up hills etc.
What do you guys think about it? He says it is good and I understand his reasoning, however I am scared that I will loose power.
How much horsepower do you think I will loose? I have about 39 and I do not want to loose too much.
However It will be safer for riding. Can it give other consequences?
Thanks guuys
