Try it. And ignore anyone who tells you to look at the utterly uselessAlioth shootout. It doesn't model anything real-world and doesn'tactually tell you anything about performance for your problems.
I haven't checked in a while, but they weren't very honest about theiraims last time I checked, either. It's simply a matter ofself-promotion and comparison for Inane Gullibles.
