 In terms of speed, using maps will be the fastest, using standard Bmad tracking will be much
 slower, and using PTC element-by-element tracking will be slowest.
 
-In terms of symplecticity, both the PTC tracking and map tracking will be symplectic.
-Bmad is not symplectic but the deviation from symplecticity is generally fairly small. If the
-radiation effects are large enough, the radiative stochastic noise will negate any non-symplectic
-effects and standard Bmad tracking can be used. A very rough rule of thumb is that if the damping times
-or the number of turns tracked are under 100,000 turns then Bmad standard tracking can be used.

 PTC element-by-element tracking cannot be done when using the MPI version of the \ltt program.
