Nasty awful diode recovery.

A'course, a schottky isn't any better due to capacitance.

SiC rectifiers are supposed to be all the rage, but I've heard they have a
large Vf, and I've no idea how much junction capacitance.

Less than Si schottky, but about proportionally so. PNs still win on
capacitance (which can matter more than recovery in certain applications,
not this of course).
