In general I would say probably not unless your trajectory write
frequency is very close to your time step. Otherwise the velocity
approximation will likely be too rough. I know from experience for
example that a velocity autocorrelation function calculated using
actual on-step velocities starts to differ quite a bit between actual
and approximated velocities as the trajectory write frequency
increases (although maybe thats a bad example since the VAC fxn needs
a fairly high write frequency to be useful anyway). Perhaps others
have a different perspective.
