Thanks, that's useful!

What do other people think? Would starting at a max of 8 or 4 get
consensus? Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law of Internet
Bandwidth predicts for the next 20 years? (I think predictability is
REALLY important).

I chose 20 because all of my testing shows it to be safe, and all of my
back-of-the-envelope calculations indicate the costs are reasonable.

If consensus is "8 because more than order-of-magnitude increases are
scary" -- ok.
