Its merits are that it works and works reliably. Updates itself each
day and goes about its business on a schedule that you set. Never seems
to miss a beat. I complained about hogging resources but it uses fairly
little CPU. It does however keep the disk hopping. That is not a
problem now that I have moved the start time to 11:00 pm and set it to
shut the computer down after it finishes. It's now after 11:00 and it
has just started up in "fast" mode where it now seems to be averging
about 15% CPU usage.
