I guess Larry will give me some money, when he sees that
with the new setSize() his servers will be more green. There
should be a market for energy efficiency nowadays.

Bye

P.S.: I don't champion energy efficiency yet, one of the
applications I am working on is rather a black hole concerning
energy, compared to the video streaming which only eats up
3W or so (which still impresses me), when I run my application
energy consumption goes up by 16W or so.
