MP 7,1 PSA: Make sure you're using all 6 channels of ram or lose 10% cpu performance.

Use TmpDisk to make a RAM disk 2gb in size or so then run Blackmagic Speed Disk Test for MB/sec results

Anybody know if this setup will give me some good performance gains for my 12 core?

I have stock 6x8GB and am getting another 6x16GB so a total of 12 at 144GB

Will populating all 12 slots provide better, same, or slower performance than when populating only 6 slots? Where can you test the performance of the memory?

I had 48GB and upgraded to another set of Apple original 48GB RAM that someone sold when they upgraded to higher memory.

12 slots is '100%' performance with 6 being a minuscule reduction. Anything else is suboptimal.
