  We present the results of testing a new technique for stochastic noise
reduction in the calculation of propagators by implementing it in OpenQ*D for
two ensembles with O(a) improved Wilson fermion action, with periodic boundary
conditions and pion masses of 437 MeV and 331 MeV, for the connected vector and
pseudoscalar correlators. We find that the technique yields no speedup compared
to traditional methods, owning to the failure of its underlying assumption that
the spectra of the spatial Laplacian and Dirac operators are sufficiently
similar for the technique's purposes.
