as far as I understand sharpening in any raw converter is done _after_ demosaicing... so whether to do this in SP or afterwards on 16bit .TIFF/.PNG is a matter of preferences and available PP tools/plug-ins... if you prefer to do in rawconverter - consider Rawtherapee... it has better demosaicing and sharpening than SilkyPix...
PS: anybody willing to defend SilkyPix's demosaicing is welcome to visit this topic
