Charlie, I can't help but agree with your overall point.  But what you are  
suggesting is that there *could* be a problem without any real evidence  
beyond suggesting the list volume is low.  Quite frankly while the list  
volume might be less than jRuby, it's certainly not a ghost town by any  
stretch of the imagination.  So I'm failing to see your point; not from a  
philisophical level, but from a very specific "where's the evidence?"

Fair enough, if your entire point is to simply open up the pipes a bit  
more, then cool.  But that's not the way it came across.
