I did a little more testing. It performs very well when there's a lot of noise but get rids of real features if the noise is minimal. It also clearly struggles with boundaries and edges between bright and dark. But overall it's good if you haven't got much integration time, a lot of noise and still want to present something. No free lunch though.
