Repair permission with El Capitan?

Someone gave a great suggestion on how to use permission when the computer slows down.

I have done it several times could see how the system found problems and repaired them. This was with my OS 10.6 - lion, leopard, kitten - not sure.

Now, with El Capitan all I have is first aid, and am not sure what it is doing.

Just typing the question here is jumping, stopping, than moving on.

"Beginning with OS X El Capitan, system file permissions are automatically protected. It's no longer necessary to verify or repair permissions with Disk Utility."
