where have you read/heard this?
are you sure this is not rather old information?
was there any proof?
usually the processing of orthogonal cells is
much faster. only if you want to reduce the
number of solvating molecules to the extreme
minimum, than you have an advantage, but in
the age of many-core processors, this is
rarely justified. you'll save yourself a lot of
trouble in post-processing and analysis with
an orthogonal cell, too.
