I'm not sure that Adobe does it, but from my tests only a small sub-
sample of an image is all that is really needed for a accurate 
Histogram... the big question is how useful is it really?  I mean, 
are you really not going to apply the specific curve to an image 
which makes it *right* because you don't like the look of the 
histogram?
