Not that anybody on any occasion has any introduced any statistically 
significant data generated under controlled circumstances.  It's just a 
bunch of anecdotal hand-waving at the moment.  BTW, I don't disbelieve 
that this could be a significant optimization; but if these engineers 
were working for me, and walked into my office asking for non-conformant 
subsetting and didn't have some quantitative data to back up their 
suspicions, they'd be bouncing out of the office pretty damn quick. -Tim
