topping lift

My topping lift keeps my boom at the right angle for my inmast furler. It keeps the boom from hitting me in the head. But how do I use the topping lift for increasing the performance of my mainsail?

Raise the boom with topping lift to give the main more camber in light winds. Lower the boom for less camber to de-power (flatten) the sail in high winds. I believe you can head up better in this config aswell. More experinced sailors please correct me if ive missed something.
