Does the noise reduction performed by the camera superior to post processing using software like Lightroom 3.3?

While shooting RAW on the Pentax K5, does setting the high ISO noise reduction and the slow shutter speed noise reduction (in Rec. Mode 3 documented on page 98-99 in the camera manual) really reduce noise? Or are those settings relevant only while shooting JPEGs?

Guys, I decided to buy the Pentax DA lenses. But I also bought the MACK 7 year extended warranty with it just in case the SDM motors fail. And since I am not a professional, I guess the lack of a lens during repair time is an acceptable trade off for having good weather sealed glass. I hope atleast :-). Thanks for all your input.

I have my heart set on getting a k-5 and I thought buying the DA 16-50mm and the DA 50-135mm lenses would be nice, but I've realized that the SDM motors on these lenses fail a lot from looking at the threads here. My questions are:
- What lenses would you suggest as similar lenses (with the same good optical quality) if I didn't go for the DAs?
- Most of the complaints about SDM failures seem to be from 2007-2009. Are the new lenses from 2009-2010 failing as well? I am hoping that maybe Pentax fixed the QA/design issues in the recent lenses?
- Does anyone know if Pentax officially acknowledged fixing these issues?
- Thanks!
