Where they really fall behind is site-searching and summoning.
They generally beat me in reasearch unless I go nuts with research skulls. Personally I'm kinda glad they aren't any better at researching.

Edit: Oh - I just read the first post. My experience is mainly with the early game. Maybe by late game (by which you mean what turn?) they should pick it up - I wouldn't necessarily be a good judge.

They seem to site search fairly well to me - often quickly, but not always very deeply, which is kinda interesting for SP because then you still are tempted to search their territory for more toys.

It does seem like maybe they could do more summoning. I saw Tien'Chi do what seemed like a healthy amount of summoning - steamrollered my Arco with a bunch of Celestial giants or something - game over.
