the number is currently set to 5 so what happens if I increase to 20 or 
drop it to 2?  At what point do the probabilities reach 1 (guaranteed 
garbage collection) and what does that mean?  are we rapidly entering the 
world of spinal tap where an amp is louder if it goes to 11 instead of 10??

hmmm.  sound like it's time to read the code.
