RT provides one of the finest demosaicing out there, free or commercial softwares mixed. I use Silkypix for my daily job: it is superior for the color rendition "picture straight open", so to speak. And tones and contrast and so on. But Silky falls on resolution. RT, on the other hand, is slower to get to the optimal color/exposure/contrast result, but it's way better for exploiting resolution. It reminds me the good old Raw Shooter. I use RT to develop my very big prints.
Try "Amaze" demosaicing algorythm and "RL deconvolution" kind of sharpening, you'll see by yourself.
Rel.2.4 was slow, I've been using the nightly of the 3 for a while now, and it is faster. Not deadly faster, but definitely faster, usable on my obsolete Pentium IV with 2 Gb RAM.
