Yes, this is very likely due to the spin-through of the body, which
will punish larger messages more. I plan to make a small enhancemet,
so that we only do that when there is p records to handle. When there
are, we cannot avoid the spinn-through. Not before monday, an
traveling without net access, apart from the phone. . . It's a bit of
a chore tapping this in, even with T9:-).
