If someone (be it even the author of King) think otherwise, they should offer counter-evidence. Thus, my opinion is that you ought to go on with the testing because many people here on the Forum are interested and consider your testing relevant. I am one of them. My own, recent and very limited, testing has indicated that the default parameters of King could be tweaked so that it gets stronger. Please reconsider your decision.
