Well, its good to know that.  I'll probably pick up the extra sample if 
I can, then.  There's no point in throwing away a bunch of samples if 
it's just going to upsample, anyhow.

I see no visible change moving from 5 to 4.  Even moving the whole way 
to 0 only gains about 10% (3.46ms per loop vs. 3.14ms per loop).

Yeah, that was straightforward to buy almost 10%.
