LVPs require a safeguarded localiser area to ensure that ILS isn't interfered with. It can also mean problems for the jets getting off the runway with the reduced vis. Did you read the post by overstrees before your "well thought out post"?. A low-slung biz-jet can take an eternity getting off the runway in good weather (I lost count of the number of times I had an arrival come back because of this). Low vis??
All this requires increased spacing on final approach (increased from the standard 3 miles to 6 miles). It also means CAT III holding points are used clear of the sensitive area, thus meaning further to taxi for line ups. Conditional line up clearances can't be used. Like anywhere, both affect the departure and arrival rate.
