Oil Level Sight Glass

Is this a good level to maintain oil in my engine, or better at the line above it?

I used to keep it with just a slight gap at the top but after reading so much on how a high level of oil can cost hp I switched to the mid way point or just under. Motor never burnt any oil so that wasn't a worry and I like to think "maybe I've picked up a little power".
