It's also supposed to improve the sound of low g and d5, making those notes double vented instead of single vented. Also many Reform Boehm clarinets has this feature, as mine.
As for the degree or nature of this sound improvement, I had a recent personal experience when I tried out a German bore/French fingered A-clarinet without this feature. On that clarinet I noticed a "sizzling" in the tone on low g, which I didn't notice on another specimen of the same model which was double vented. Still, also other factors could have been involved. Also only the A-clarinet had this sizzling, but not the B-flat it was paired with (also single vented). On the d5 I didn't notice any difference, at least not spontaneously.
