New Clutch Questions on Max for 5&6 Spd Drivers

I got a new clutch this week. Feels good. Best part is that there is no more whining noise because the bearings were replaced. After 100K miles, the ***** were all chipped and nasty.

Question 1: How do you "break-in" a new clutch? And for how long?

Question 2: What kind of effects does a new clutch have on a car other than shifting (i.e. performance, fuel economy, etc.)
