Definitely not as good; that's why we have sm. :-) I don't have any
quantification of that assertion, though (i.e., no numbers to back that up).
However, as Eugene wrote earlier you can actually increase the number of
fifos used by the SM and avoid the hang that way. Unless you are really
strapped for memory I think that would be the best way to go.
