It is shown that the SO-SCI optimization provides faster and more robust convergence than the standard SCF procedure but requires, in many cases, even less computation time. In difficult cases, the SO-SCI method not only speeds up convergence but also avoids convergence to saddle-points. Furthermore, it helps to find spin-symmetry broken solutions in the cases of UHF or UKS. In the case of CAHF, convergence can also be significantly improved as compared to a previous SCF implementation. This is particularly important for multi-center
