I have worked on a project (in a previous job) that used Raima. It was
not bad, but as I seem to recall fairly pricey. Not blazingly fast
either (but this might not have been the products fault). 

If you want to get a feel for Raima, compile and play around with
"typhoon". It looks and feels almost the same. I believe it implements
about 95% of the Raima calls. Documentation is brief, but they have a 
sample setup that is enough to get you going.
