The author investigates the performance of the Störmer-Verlet-leapfrog group of integrators and shows that the leapfrog scheme is distinguished in this group both in terms of the truncation errors order and the total energy conservation. A new procedure free from interpolation errors is described to check energy conservation of leapfrog-like algorithms. The results are illustrated by a number of numerical tests.
