Stratum protocol, does it matter for FTC at this point in the coin lifecycle?

[FoBoT]

i have been reading about Stratum mining protocol
http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining
does it matter for FTC at this point in the coin lifecycle?

some pools are on long polling/getwork and some use Stratum mining protocol

the advantages listed on that url seem to be around very large hash rates , large pools of miners etc, which FTC currently doesn’t have?

if so , is there small but negligible advantage of stratum over getwork or is there just plain ZERO need to use stratum until the entire FTC hash rate , ie miner population grows?

thank you

on hi end cards with hashrates about 700 kh and more - longpool makes much more stale shares, its restart miners only on new block when stratum is more flexible in two-way communication with workers, its broadcasted every block template changes, also can give to different users different nonce ranges so no one on pool will not do same work
