I personally think that aiming for 3-4ms of bloat is excessive for the 
applications we see today. Most of the time you're not going to notice 
10-20ms bloat even when using quite time sensitive applications, and that 
10-20ms PDV range is probably a better tradeoff between performance and 
potential interactive performance downside.
