Yes, it does help. Kernel smoothing is something I do quite a bit of, although
among the various R packages I've pretty much settled on "sm" because I can
interactively set the bandwidth parameter when I need to. KernSmooth will work,
though. IIRC KernSmooth also does derivatives, which is something I also need
occasionally.
