Apparently it does a better job at compensating for straight-ahead than it does at cornering, as witnessed by leaning crew memebers during sharp turns, and the time it takes to actually turn the ship around.

This reminds me of an interview Patrick Stewart did about the new movie. He was talking about the new hydraulic soundstage they used and how for the first time in the Trek genera the crew didn't have to shake themselves around to simulate the ship manuvers. Somehow I find that utterly hysterical.

There's also the show Frakes hosted near the end of TNG where they discussed the history of the show. He explains how they shook the camera and the cast jumped around to simulate hits. Then he jumped off to the side and it looked exactly like the bridge was shaking.
