Done a couple rides on my Bikepunx chainring now and can't say it runs noticeably rougher than the Miche it replaced.
Probably not as smooth as a Dura Ace but then again, last time I used that it was summer, I had a nice fresh chain on and I didn't take the bike it was fitted to out in the wet.
I noticed my chain was really pretty slack* when I got back from my ride today so tried pushing it off the ring just out of curiosity and couldn't so maybe there are benefits to the 'menacing' tooth profile.
*I'm sure I've stopped mid ride to sort my chain tension when its been that loose before as I've felt what I thought to be the chain sort of catching on the top of teeth. Didn't feel that at all today.
