I'm playing around with both. 

Top reports around a 10% CPU usage when the app_cepstral is running, I 
can just imagine with it would do to a system with say, 10 calls.  
Currently, I'm in a discovery phase.  I'm going to try to figure out how 
to pull data from an SQL database on an iSeries AS/400 and have Diane 
read the results back.  But, I now have to read up on AGI.

I've also used the swift application to convert whole documents with 
good results.
