Petr,
Yes, I normally do that too in my home lab. It does not hurt to turn it ON on all routers. The purpose of my email is actually to address the relationship between CEF and CAR.
Thanks.

Thanks Godswill :)
I did'nt check DocCD before answering, so my memory failed me :)
Anyway, I still think that turning CEF on every router is not that bad
idea. As I remember from my lab it has been turned on, when I verified
my "show adjacencies"

Are you sure about that?
The above link referenced and I quote in part:
"....CAR and DCAR can be configured on an interface or subinterface.
However, CAR and DCAR are not supported on the Fast EtherChannel, tunnel, or
PRI interfaces, nor on any interface that does not support Cisco Express
Forwarding (CEF).
CEF must be enabled on the interface before you configure CAR or
DCAR......."
