Point of accuracy: 5 deg AoB is not about performance. It's a certification limitation related to establishing Vmca. It prevents the manufacturer specifying an unreasonably low Vmca by using an excessive amount of bank.

Best performance is typically at ~2-3 deg AoB.

This has been discussed before on PPRuNe so a search should find the thread.
