It does OK in climbs or down low at low speeds (ie -- approaches). But in a descent from cruise it never seems to get it right. It is highly likely to overspeed the airplane, overshoot the crossing restriction or get 20 knots slow. (or all three)
The Honeywell VNAV on our 757s and 767s is far superior.

This is so true.
