DOHC Vs SOHC i.e Altis engine Vs Civic engine

Guys,
I was reading the following article on the net on DOHC Vs SOHC.

"Advantages to having a DOHC engine over a SOHC is that the engine has twice as many intake and exhaust valves as a SOHC motor. This makes the engine run cooler and more smoothly, quietly, and efficiently."

Has any one really noted the difference ?? of Altis engine run cooler and more smoothly, quietly, and efficiently because of DOHC ??

hello!
SOHC Vs DOHC...
just wanna add that SOHC on 16 valve is difficult to manage but u get low end performance as compared to same DOHC engine...reason is due to on camshaft is doing that all....but SOHC can't give that High end performance as compared to DOHC...
DOHC was designed to make engine run smoother and cooler...but DOHC engines are bit heavier than SOHC resulting in highly weighted engines....so i think DOHC can run better than SOHC and can be modified better than SOHC....
Thanxx
