Default Omega drivers

Anyone tried these recently? I always used them over catalyst drivers when I had an ATI. I'm perfectly satisfied with Nvidia's, just curious how they perform, without actually testing it out myself of course.

What do these Alternate Drivers intentionally do aside from the offical drivers ?

They're suppose to improve performance/stability I guess.. But everytime I tried any of these modded drivers, they only made problems.
