Default Do grounding kits really work?

I hear they improve idle and driveabilty... is this true? What is it actually doing for the car?

according to what i've seen, results seem to vary. people claim you can just upgrade the stock grounding points with bigger gauge wires and it will yield the same improvements as the hundred dollar kits. but for the most part, people see easier starts and smoother shifts (in autos)...i'm sure theres some reviews here on ht if you search.
