Thats true if you look absolute values. I just tried to switch from one 
WiFi profile to another and it took 6.5 sec (checking old profile changes 
takes most of time). Depends on how you usually need to switch profiles. 
If you need to choose right profile only during boot then I'm sure that 
scpm is faster (because it does it automatically).

I personally can wait some more seconds (up to 10 usually) because I don't 
need to switch profiles more than 3-4 time a day (home WiFi - work eth0 - 
work WiFi - home FiWi). This doesn't mean that scpm fits for everyone but 
it is worth to try at least.
