Thanks! I did not try it on symmetric structures. However, preconditioning influences the speed of convergence to a minimum (good or not), rather than which minimum it converges to, so it's not clear to me whether it will avoid the problem you mention without running it.

We also present a solution to the problem, showing how we can efficiently estimate 2nd order information and largely mitigate the poor conditioning, opening the door for efficient, SGD-based high resolution cryo-EM methods.

We show the numerical conditioning of cryo-EM reconstruction is increasingly poor at high resolution such that SGD has no real hope of resolving high resolution structures.
