I think I was trying to push it too hard, attempting to eek the last possibe damx out of it. 
But It seemed best to just pick a limit that that was reasonble and retained good 
separation right down to that limit point. The linearization process can't pull that back 
apart if if you've moved into an area of unpredictable behvior.
I wish I had more time to play with it, right now I'm just using Roy's profilier to help with 
other output systems. So my advice has to be taken with a grain of salt.
